The 15-day long preparatory hearing might be explained by the hearing of extensive expert evidence on the workings of the handsets and the broader EncroChat system.
The relevance of this evidence was largely dismissed in this judgment: ‘The 2016 Act does not use technical terms in this area. The experts have an important role in explaining how a system works, but no role whatever in construing an Act of Parliament.’ (at [68]).
The Court of Appeal focussed primarily upon the legality and the route to admissibility for material “harvested” from the EncroChat system: “The issue is whether the communications were intercepted while they were being transmitted or while they were stored in or by the system.” (at [51]).
The EncroChat messages were construed as essentially the same as any data downloaded from a mobile phone handset, albeit downloaded remotely. The material was “stored” when it was intercepted.
The only technical issue before the court was in determining when transmission began and when it ended.
The ultimate decision on a potentially technically complex point rested on whether the information obtained was encrypted or not: “The fact that what was obtained was an unencrypted message, means that what was on the phone, and what was intercepted, was not the same as what had been transmitted because what had been transmitted was encrypted.
It cannot therefore have been “being transmitted” when it was intercepted: it can only have been “being stored” (at [66]).

“ If you need to communicate top classified information or you need to store secret data and be absolutely sure that no state-sponsored hackers, no foreign Governments , no intelligence agencies will be ever able to decipher the files, you need an Above Military Level Offline SuperEncryption System”
Cyber War Ultra Encrypted Communications.
This is an encrypted text message, that has been encrypted with an OTP cipher (quantum safe encryption- mathematically unbreakable) , on a DBV “ Air Gapped “ Offline SuperEncryption Machine. The Encrypted message is then exported from the offline device by visual means( no connections , not even physical) by scanning the QR code with an online device for then sending it safely online.
The QR code at is arrival, is scanned by the second DBV offline encryption machine , directly from the receiving online device. Afterwards , it’s deciphered safely offline. This form of super encrypted offline communications is safer than a face to face meeting .
