Four days after the BULLRUN disclosure. The $250-million-a-year programme to defeat commercial encryption, the Edgehill GCHQ equivalent, and the confirmation of what Niels Ferguson and Dan Shumow had been suggesting about Dual_EC_DRBG since 2007.
The Verizon FISA order is the kind of disclosure I have been writing about as theoretical for two years. PRISM is the kind I have been writing about as theoretical for ten. The trust-the-platform default is not defensible after this week.
