We don't know the NSA is not doing this. There is ample evidence that they do a lot more than we conspired about.
- PlzSnow 11y ago"We don't know the NSA is not doing this." Please look at what you wrote! Am I dreaming? This is the level of argument that is being used?
- mappu 11y agoI'm assuming you believe in the passive intercept so this will focus on the 1024-bit prime. It is crackable with the NSA's leaked budget and it fits their mission. If you had the NSA's leaked budget, you could crack this. I could crack this. The budget is not astronomical and it could be cracked by dozens of governments your country doesn't get along with. That's why it's important to defend against it because even if you trust the NSA, the attack is equally available to Russia / China / North Korea / your country's boogeyman-of-the-day. The whole global internet is under threat along with billions of dollars of eCommerce GDP.
