I suppose "sufficiently" is indeed the question. If the NSA own enough of the end points they can see the data coming in and out again. Snowden said encryption was good enough to keep data private, but perhaps he also believes Tor isn't good enough to keep usage anonymous.
- crazypyro 13y agoWhat about PGP or other encryption? Surely, the NSA couldn't crack a PGP encrypted message sent over tor, could they? (Assuming no access to private keys) Disclaimer: I have basic understanding of security, but not much more.
- cryptart 13y agoTor, as a low-latency mix-net, is known to be vulnerable to a large-scale traffic analysis. However, I'm not sure exactly why the parties involved actually need anonymity -- everyone knows that Greenwald is in communication with Poitras. If the point is to shield the data from size analysis, couldn't they use padding? Of course, these are journalists and not engineers. Maybe what they need is a team of IT/crypto consultants. Surely there would be plenty of volunteers.
