US and British intelligence agencies have
successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of
millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, the files
show that the National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have broadly
compromised the guarantees that internet companies have given consumers to
reassure them that their communications, online banking and medical records
would be indecipherable to criminals or governments.
• The secrecy of their capabilities against
encryption is closely guarded, with analysts warned: "Do not ask about or
speculate on sources or methods."
• The NSA describes strong decryption programs
as the "price of admission for the US to maintain unrestricted access to
and use of cyberspace".
• A GCHQ team has been working to develop ways
into encrypted traffic on the "big four" service providers, named as
Hotmail, Google, Yahoo and Facebook.
