are transmitted through the Internet rather than as more costly SMS

iang, who never even knew it was encrypted!
Well, of course, if the UI is done right, you should not know it is
encrypted.
But if apple is providing the keys, or certifying the keys, they can do
a MIM.
How does it work? Is it really secure, and if it is, how did they
manage a "not one click for security" user interface?
