All the signs now of a totalitarian (Deep) State. Soon the only way to get this monkey off of our back - and return the govt to citizen rule - will likely be very unpleasant. The portents are exploding: school boards ordering police to arrest citizens for complaining, etc.
But the biggest fuel to the overthrow of our govt was the successful coup carried out for four years against a duly elected president and not only were the plotters not brought to justice, they are now running the govt!
Its fairly clear the NSA can break VPN most encryption based on AES systems.
Its unclear if they can break RSA 4k and unlikely RSA 8k encryption.
I thought it strange that back in the 90’s when these decisions were being made, Intel came up with a encryption key based on the current analog output of the internal CPU thermal sensor.
This was only a concept but for some reason, this went global in fighting Intel from implementing it.
It probably would have been very secure and unlikely the NSA could ever break it as it would change depending on the current CPU power demands.
