I believe you are right. I understand from the news articles that they don't break the codes, but they have backdoors. > Remember, for one example, that 'Snowden' was using some form of email > encryption.

Really? Have you checked and understood each line of that open-source code, or do you personally know and trust the people who claim they did? > As for being in on the development, it's open source code, available > to all of us to verify no back doors. Sure. > Current German "Tech News Moments" are saying, in their > talking-points, that people should begin using GPG4win and other > OpenPGP . Why not? As long as it is licenced for export, you can be sure that the NSA has no problem reading your mails. Oh wait a minute, I'm wrong here: Governments around the world let people, i.e. anybody including susptected terrorists, encrypt their emails because they really don't want to know what they write to each others. That's because the governments respect your privacy. Gee, I forgot about this little detail, my apologies. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.4 under Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
