content: It is likely that they are years ahead of what is known publicly.  Historic Example: GCHQ had discovered public key cryptography (solving the problem of the key exchange) seven years before the academics Diffie and Hellman published their independent discoveries on the topic. From Wikipedia:     The scheme was first published by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976,[2] but in 1997 it was revealed that James H. Ellis,[4] Clifford Cocks, and Malcolm J. Williamson of GCHQ, the British signals intelligence agency, had previously, in 1969,[5] shown how public-key cryptography could be achieved.[6]  It would be naive to believe this is the only secret knowledge in cryptography that has been withheld from the public. Here's one of the most interesting talks on the NSA I've seen so far: https://youtu[dot]be/bFzGLQ27eiU?t=338 (from 2012 Chaos Communication Congress... the link kept disappearing, so I posted it like this, replace the dot. Voat Bug?). Yes, the speaker Jacob Applebaum is a virtue signalling lefty faggot (German or Jew name? I don't know), but just ignore that part. In this case I think our "enemy's interests" align with ours and I haven't seen a better talk on the current capabilities of the NSA yet. In the meantime, the left has eaten their own: Appplebaum has been smeared by other faggots. Supposedly he sexually assaulted women, but we all know how that could just be another lie... what is this guy even doing now? Was he possibly just another glow-nigger exaggerating the NSA's capabilities? Either way, he gave a good talk that goes beyond what you typically get to hear about the NSA. Take it with a grain of salt.
