I have a Qualcomm Q-Phone with Sprint PCS service, and haven't been
able to pry out much information on crypto (or using the phone as
anything other than a voice device, for that matter.) What is the
crypto like in IS-95/J-STD-008 CDMA?
(Right, I suppose I could read through the entire standard, but that
would cost money to buy, and wouldn't tell me what's actually being
used if parts are optional.)
