NSA's Bluffdale, Utah data storage facility is apparently already online and operational.
Does the interview mention how someone who left the NSA in 2005 would know this?
- rl3 13y agoYes, he said an insider sent him a coded handwritten message on a basis similar to a one-time pad. He also said that he could not read most of said message due to misplacing the key-code. EDIT: My original reply likely butchered terminology, sorry. The relevant audio can be heard verbatim at 1:03:11 in the interview recording.
- richardwhiuk 13y agoIf the OTP was used to encrypt the message, it's usefulness is already gone.
- brown9-2 13y agoA source inside the NSA that re-uses a onetime pad would be pretty ironic.
- runjake 13y agoThis isn't hard to believe. The scheduled "go live" time for the Utah facility was September 2013.
