I don't understand why some NSA leaks suddenly make people think the state of crypto is any different than it was two weeks ago. The Snowden leaks thusfar have ZERO relevance to what the collective crypto community considers good ways of securing data. Nothing changed, technically speaking. The NSA merely broke rules. They didn't do anything technologically special.
