regarding Snowden in Princeton, https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2015/05/02/meeting-snowden-in-princeton/ "There’s no evidence of a “wow” cryptanalysis; it was key theft, or an implant, or a predicted RNG or supply-chain interference. _Cryptanalysis has been seen of RC4_, but not of elliptic curve crypto, and there’s no sign of exploits against other commonly used algorithms." RC4 still in WPA2 (targeted attack) allowing decryption of collected signals. this is why VPN is necessary over WiFi networks regardless of WPA2 security settings in the Tor router requirements. best regards,
