Do they really need to fake it? It surely might be a part of the famous indirectly accessed data.

- Phlarp 13y agoThis has been my question in this whole mess, if we assume NSA can and does subpoena the keys and certs as opposed to the direct data (and the NSA were copying data en masse, which now seems likely) would that not make HTTPS essentially useless?
- claudius 13y agoThe NSA is not the average guy listening in on your wifi and then using your CC to buy stuff online. HTTPS protects against those, and it does so relatively efficiently.
- Phlarp 13y agoSorry, I should have clarified that it negates HTTPS in the context of the NSA (and presumably other government actors around the world), still great protection from getting your facebook session hijacked over wifi. What about protection from the average NSA sysadmin or analyst with slightly less moral fiber than Edward Snowden? (or gambling debt, or a mental disease, or an obsession with your significant other etc.)
