I wonder if Mr. Hansen still thinks I'm being paranoid about my online privacy.

         N.S.A. Foils Much Internet Encryption

         
          
The National Security Agency is winning its long-running secret war on
encryption, using supercomputers, technical trickery, court orders and
behind-the-scenes persuasion to undermine the major tools protecting the privacy
of everyday communications in the Internet age, according to newly disclosed
documents.
The agency has circumvented or cracked much of the encryption,
or digital scrambling, that guards global commerce and banking systems, protects
sensitive data like trade secrets and medical records, and automatically secures
the e-mails, Web searches, Internet chats and phone calls of Americans and
others around the world, the documents show.
Many users assume — or
have been assured by Internet companies — that their data is safe from
prying eyes, including those of the government, and the N.S.A. wants to keep it
that way. The agency treats its recent successes in deciphering protected
information as among its most closely guarded secrets, restricted to those
cleared for a highly classified program code-named Bullrun, according to the
documents, provided by Edward J. Snowden, the former N.S.A. contractor.
