I didn't think that was supposed to be possible.
Can this be true? Is TrueCrypt broken? And if so, doesn't this have enormous implications for information security in the rest of the world? It seems like if it's that easy to crack modern encryption, the financial system should come crashing down any minute now.
It doesn't seem right that FBI would burn the fact that it's broken RSA on a small-time child porn investigation. Anyone know what's going on here?
