This is the only way in which crypto helps against the PRISMs: when legitimate business interests come to depend enough on services that can neither easily be compromised by the PRISM nor easily be shut off because of the large dependence on those services. That's really more a political effect than a technological one, though facilitated by technology. Nothing really gets anyone past the enormous supply of zero-day vulns in their complete stacks. In the end I assume there's no technological PRISM workarounds.
