NY Times surmises NSA does not want to reveal its crypto cracking capabilities, that the FBI hopes unskilled users will make exploitable mistakes implementing, that DoD hopes to exploit holes, doubt and errors rather than see them corrected, that hackers and corporations expect to continue to sell 0-days for high prices, that Obama staff has mixed views of weak and strong comsec, that the US hacks both friends and foes, engages in cyber defense and offense, all this feeding opportunistic and obliging media fanning flames with anonymous sources, secret briefings, revolving door job offers of op-eds, essays, speeches, testimonies and spy-approved tattle-tales. Essential to crypto fire-storm is fueling a fire-sale Snowden 0-day attribution. The rewards of this frenzied comsec-shopping should be a pardon for Snowden, along with a life-time free travel in search of anywhere crypto is not needed, just his word comms are good to go naked.
