NSA defeats many online encryption efforts

The U.S. National Security Agency has been circumventing many online encryption
efforts through a combination of supercomputers, back doors built into
technology products, court orders and other efforts, according to a new report
from The New York Times and ProPublica.

Richi Jennings: Bullrun/Edgehill: NSA and GCHQ declare 'civil war' on Internet


Snowdon leaks and leaks and leaks again. It would appear that the sky is
falling. Somehow, the NSA and it's British buddies, GCHQ, are able to break the
"strong" encryption we use every day. It's not yet clear how they're doing it,
but the agencies apparently see this as a civil war with their own citizens,
judging by the codename they chose. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers fix bayonets. Not
to mention: The French president goes back to school...
