The NSA's Cryptographic Capabilities
The latest Snowden document is the US intelligence "black budget." There's a lot of information in the few pages the Washington Post decided to publish, including an introduction by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. In it, he drops a tantalizing hint: "Also, we are investing in groundbreaking cryptanalytic capabilities to defeat adversarial cryptography and exploit internet traffic."
Honestly, I'm skeptical. Whatever the NSA has up its top-secret sleeves, the mathematics of cryptography will still be the most secure part of any encryption system. I worry a lot more about poorly designed cryptographic products, software bugs, bad passwords, companies that collaborate with the NSA to leak all or part of the keys, and insecure computers and networks. Those are where the real vulnerabilities are, and where the NSA spends the bulk of its efforts.

WASHINGTON -- The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United States, both of which are restricted by law and executive order.
They range from significant violations of law to typographical errors that resulted in unintended interception of U.S. emails and telephone calls, the Post said, citing an internal audit and other top-secret documents provided it earlier this summer from NSA leaker Edward Snowden, a former systems analyst with the agency.

XKeyscore doesn't just turn somebody's Internet life inside out. It's also a blood hound for sniffing out vulnerable systems.
According to Ars Technica's Sean Gallagher, the vulnerability "fingerprints" are added to serve as a filtering criteria for XKeyscore's application engines, comprised of "a worldwide distributed cluster of Linux servers attached to the NSA's Internet backbone tap points."
This turns XKeyscore into a passive port scanner, Gallagher writes, which can be used to search for network behavior on systems that match the NSA TAO's profiles for exploits or for systems already exploited by malware that the TAO can then take advantage of.

It’s summer holiday season, when people pack up their smartphones and tablets, sunscreen and tank tops and set off for a change of pace. With connected devices it’s never been easier to find one’s way around, record memories, and stay in touch with friends back home.
But while technology makes traveling easier, a recent F-Secure survey pinpointed digital areas that need special consideration while on the road.

Microsoft has defended claims that detailed deep co-operation with the US government, including the circumvention of encryption in its Outlook.com email and access to its SkyDrive cloud storage service and Skype. A statement issued by Microsoft denied it had provided blanket access of its products to NSA surveillance teams, and reiterated that it only responds to valid requests. "We have clear principles, which guide the response across our entire company to government demands for customer information for both law enforcement and national security issues," the statement said.
