Many ask will this work or are the tools available to the NSA good enough to crack this. The Titan being installed in the Utah data centre might be powerful enough or even secret Quantum computers such as the D-Wave machines.
Perhaps some experiments will be conducted using the new encryption system. More importantly it has been seen by business people the threat to their confidential information and the possibility of having their inventions and designs lifted on sold or used. German manufacturing is pretty close to cutting edge in many unique industrial techniques, some of those techniques could be worth billions in intellectual property, we know Intel agencies are hand in glove with Multinationals and the Energy sector, presumably Industry not connected with this Club will see the threat to their development projects.
Communications sent between Germany’s two leading email providers will now be encrypted to provide better security against potential NSA surveillance. Experts say the move will do little to thwart well-equipped snoopers.
The “E-mail made in Germany” project has been set up in the wake of US surveillance revelations made by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. National Security Agency documents show that the agency intercepts 500 million phone calls, texts, and emails in Germany each month.
“Germans are deeply unsettled by the latest reports on the potential interception of communication data,” said Rene Obermann, head of Deutsche Telekom, the country’s largest email provider. “Now, they can bank on the fact that their personal data online is as secure as it possibly can be.”
Deutsche Telekom and United Internet, which operate about two-thirds of Germany’s primary email accounts, said that from now on they will use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) – a modern, industry-standard form of encryption that scrambles signals as they are sent through cables, which is the point at which the NSA often intercepts communication. The companies will also employ exclusively German servers and internal cables when sending messages between each other.
