ProPublica's Jeff Larson on the NSA Crypto Story http://source.mozillaopennews.org/en-US/articles/propublicas-jeff-larson-nsa-crypto-story/
Describes two months of digging through the Snowden documents, using search tool Intella, finding code words, looking for references to those, scrambling to understand and explain the technology to experts and the public, traveling between New York and London, thrill of working with NYT, Guardian and others. Claims extraordinary security was laid on to protect the material. But doesn't say what it was or is. Pretty good gritty back story compared to the burnished fronts. Hard to tell if it is a front story as well due to admission of withholding materials. Nothing said about consulting with USG or HMG. Here's a much less polite viewpoint: http://ohtarzie.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/fuck-the-guardian-take-your-drip-and-stick-it/ _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
