Ok, in the fist sentence of the original, it says that they can decrypt PGP partially. The whole report is based on one sentence that a spokesperson said at some point.
For some context: The news releases from German security agencies tend to be imprecise on technical details in a way that suggests that the lack of precision is not on purpose. From all that I've heard on the German media, practically all surveillance techniques they use to get at encrypted communications consist of compromising your machine and thus getting at the unencrypted data. At least that was the real story when they claimed they wanted to "wiretap" skype.
- glurgh 13y agoThat's just the first sentence of the original, poorly titled article. Click through to the PDF and see what you make of it - in my reading, neither the question nor the answer say anything specific about PGP at all - especially the answer.
