#The NSA s $10 million secret deal to get RSA to use backdoored encryption algorithm RSA had been paid by the NSA to set the backdoored algorithm as the default method of random number generation.

so that when terrorists or other nefarious individuals are identified, they can be tracked easily in detail. Targeted tracking can involve a whole different level of surveillance,

Strong encryption is probably still secure, but the trust system that governs web security has#integral flaws that need addressing.
firms that make encryption easier by managing the user s keys also make the user less secure by becoming a target for the authorities.#
Can agencies such as the NSA continue to track terrorists without tracking everyone? Can we continue to see commercial surveillance as separate from state surveillance?
We would no longer panic in emergencies. Burch describes how we would switch to this new brain.

The fact is that hackers have succeeded in using photographs to lift fingerprints and access personal accounts.
