What kind of data centers do the NSA use? The best circumvention should take advantage of that. For example, if they have a lot of low-end mainstream machines equipped with 4 GB RAM each, you just embed a JavaScript Scrypt-implementation in your email and encrypt the content with a configuration that would require too long to decrypt with 4 GB RAM, but not with 8 GB RAM.

- iso8859-1 13y agoOf course it will never give you real security if the key is public. But it seems people are too lazy to exchange public keys.
- anonymouz 13y agoYou might have some trouble convincing people to actually read your email when they need 8GB RAM and enable JavaScript just to be able to read them. The real answer is proper encryption, not silly DIY tricks trying to be clever against one specific possible attack.
- C1D 13y agoI can't give a URL but there was a link recently on the top of HN that converted emails to an image that can only be read once before its deleted which means as soon as the other end reads the email they can do it again, so if their gmail was 'prism-ed' the NSA wouldnt be able to read it.
