    > Those methods include covert measures to ensure NSA control over setting of international encryption standards, the use of supercomputers to break encryption with "brute force", Things that definitely don't happen. Those same encryption standards are used by the US military, and the international cryptography community can pretty readily rule out keyed backdoors. The thought that supercomputers could break Internet encryption by brute force is laughable. One would have to be innumerate to think such a thing.
