They copy every packet, that's how they broke TOR when they took down Silk Road. Theoretically you can encrypt stuff that they can't decode, but they still know where it came from and where it went to.
If it's even theoretically possible to brute force decode some encryption, then the NSA can use quantum computers to instantly break it. It's like time travel for computer code.
For that not happening I have an easy solution. I have not published it since 2006 when I discovered it.
The task is that they do not know who is sending what to whom.
A hint; Cascading encription with at least 2 post offices.
As someone capable of using keystroke logger to get my gf's emale pass (holy fuck. She really did get a private meetup with team poppa.)...I just dont want my landlady reading my email...etc.
Of course the agency sees all traffic.
That was obvious the first time i logged into aol back when nixon was president.
Ive been in an AT&T room where the guy pointed to a closet of hardware and said, all the area traffic goes through here.
The internet is a DARPA project, everything is recorded and attached to a digital avatar, AI, that walks talks looks sounds and acts like you. There is no need to keep a “dossier” of everyone. You can actually talk to it and ask it questions like a regular human clone in a digital space.
Interesting / terrifying. Thanks for linking me to these articles! I mean, even though DARPA started the Internet I never considered that they did it for a very specific reason.
Can an entity not claim "Look at our source code and see for yourself" while at the same time run code that is altered slightly to spy on its users.
The idea here is typically client vs server
You run the open source client code, which handles the encryption, then pass it to the server (which purports to be the same as the open source code that is published) which essentially just acts as a coordinator / message passer. Very high level.
Of course, there are ways this breaks down:
Server code is not the same as the open source code, and has been altered to either keep more logging (where and when messages are going, but not necessarily whats in them), or store messages for later attempts at breaking the encryption
The client code is not actually the open source code, in the case that it came from a marketplace of some sort and depending on if/how it was signed/hashed
Operating system - I'm assuming you're running the app on some sort of device with an OS
There are ways to secure against some or all of these, but each step takes more effort, usually for both the sender and receiver (i.e. sending messages as encrypted attachments, using relays/proxies, etc)
And, in general, just assume that these things are happening and act accordingly

Fortunately, the crypto market created massive incentive to build factories that produce chips designed solely for brute-forcing encryption.

There can't be third-party privacy services. If a privacy service is not your own, it can't be private and have no sense.
Switch to p2p decentralized tech if you can't rise your own privacy services.

More reason to leave it at home and take side streets through the parque.

And anything based on whispersystems is garbage, including telegram.
