Encrypt Skype - is that possible?

It doesn't matter whether you are on the phone or chatting with your friends, Skype automatically encrypts all activities.

• This means that only you and the friends you are talking to have access to the chat or conversation.
• It is ensured that no data is intercepted. Skype uses the AES standard for this, which is also used for WLAN encryption.
• Since you can also make a normal call to a landline number using Skype, this part is not encrypted.
• Because encryption via the telephone network cannot be guaranteed.
• This means: if you are in a conference with several Skype participants, this conference is encrypted. As soon as a subscriber joins with a landline number, only this is not encrypted.
