Does NSA really have to use side channels? They could just send NSL to amazon for full memory dump and hdd clones of the virtual machine in question.
There are much easier ways to obtain data than subverting the crypto. This makes sense only for communications between secure endpoints. Like the Russian embassy sending data back home in Moscow. The security in this case comes from the fact that NSA cannot freely make intrusions without risking triggering a diplomatic incident/war - not that the Russian networks are secure in some absolute sense.
