How US and UK spy agencies defeat internet privacy and security
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.

NSA e inteligencia británica pueden saltarse cualquier cifrado en internet
Esta vez, los documentos hablan
de dos programas dirigidos por la NSA y el GCHQ (agencia de inteligencia de
Reino Unido), que le permiten a estas agencias saltarse los protocolos de
seguridad (cifrados) utilizados por la mayoría de servicios en internet.
Estas operaciones, llamadas
Bullrun y Edgehill, manejan un presupuesto de unos 250 millones de dólares al
año, y funcionan de forma sencilla: a través de compañías relacionadas a los
proveedores de servicios web (correos electrónicos, registros online médicos o
bancarios, comunicación VoIP, entre tantos otros) y sin que dicho proveedor se
de cuenta, crean vulnerabilidades secretas en los cifrados de estos servicios,
lo que comúnmente se conoce como "puertas traseras", que podrán ser
accedidas por la NSA o GCHQ.
Eso sí, estos documentos no dan
detalles técnicos sobre el proceso exacto utilizado por la NSA y GCHQ para
infiltrar estas vulnerabilidades, ni mucho menos de qué clase de vulnerabilidad
se trata (ni si podría ser aprovechada por algún otro invasor no relacionado a
estas agencias de inteligencia... o espionaje). La filtración que proviene de
Snowden solo da a conocer que esto le permite a estos organismos el saltarse
fácilmente protocolos como el HTTPS o SSL, que tantos consideramos como
seguros.
