Thanks again; I always try to add drama and suspense wherever I go. For instance,
I have spent the last six weeks in my secret lair, capturing and analyzing the Kindle's WiFi traffic.
By now I'm fairly confident that data transferred between Amazon's servers and my Kindle is actually encrypted: When the Kindle downloads a book or document from Amazon, it sends and receives encrypted http
S data packets, as opposed to the unencrypted http packets caused by the Kindle's web browser. In other words, I can use my notebook to see the web pages accessed by the Kindle's browser, yet I cannot see the books sent by Amazon's servers.
However, since I'm relatively new to WiFi traffic analysis, it is quite possible that my interpretation of what I have seen is flawed. Surely someone else, preferably someone less incompetent than myself, must have analyzed the Kindle's WiFi behavior before and be able to confirm or contradict my findings?
Is there any official documentation or statement regarding the Kindle's public WiFi security?
