(NaturalNews) There is a saying that says, when it comes to government, the=
y've got you coming and going.

No truer words are spoken when the subject comes to serial invasions of you=
r privacy. Not only is the National Security Agency monitoring your every e=
lectronic communication, but the agency is paying your tech company and Int=
ernet service provider to hack you as well.

According to Britain's The Guardian newspaper, which broke the story of mas=
sive NSA spying earlier this year:

U.S. and British intelligence agencies have successfully cracked much of th=
e online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protec=
t the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails, accor=
ding to top-secret documents revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden.

The files show that the National Security Agency and its UK counterpart GCH=
Q have broadly compromised the guarantees that internet companies have give=
n consumers to reassure them that their communications, online banking and =
medical records would be indecipherable to criminals or governments.

If need be, the use of 'brute force' to break encryption

In other words, those little privacy spiels that social media and tech comp=
anies put on their sites to "assure you" that your privacy is "guaranteed" =
- are lies. And what's more, they are government-sanctioned lies.

The files that Snowden - who is currently in Russia, having been granted te=
mporary political asylum by President Vladimir Putin - provided show that t=
he agencies use a number of methods in their systematic, continual assault =
on what they perceive as one of the biggest threats to their ability to acc=
ess billions of bytes of Internet traffic - "the use of ubiquitous encrypti=
on across the Internet."

The paper said the methods include covert measures ensuring NSA control ove=
r the establishment of international encryption standards, use of supercomp=
uters to break encryption protocols and protections using "brute force," an=
d - the most closely guarded of all secrets - "collaboration with technolog=
y companies and Internet service providers themselves."

Through the establishment of these covert and unconstitutional partnerships=
- private firms have as much legal obligation to protect your privacy as t=
he government does - these agencies have had placed into commercial encrypt=
ion software the ability to penetrate it in what are known as "backdoors" o=
r "trapdoors."

According to the files provided by Snowden:

-- A decade-long NSA program targeting encryption technologies made a huge =
breakthrough in 2010, which then made "vast amounts" of data collected thro=
ugh Internet cable taps finally "exploitable."

-- The NSA spends $250 million taxpayer dollars annually on a program that,=
among other goals, works through tech companies to "covertly influence" th=
e design of their products.

-- The secrecy of the programs' capabilities to thwart encryption is extrem=
ely closely guarded, and analysts are warned: "Do not ask about or speculat=
e on sources or methods."

-- The NSA describes its strong decryption programs as the "price of admiss=
ion for the U.S. to maintain unrestricted access to and use of cyberspace."

-- A GCHQ team has been developing ways to access encrypted traffic on each=
of the "big four" service providers: Hotmail, Google, Yahoo and Facebook.

As usual, both agencies insist they need to defeat all encryption in order =
to maintain national security and combat terrorism and the ability of forei=
gn governments to gather intelligence.

But, of course, there is another aspect to this, and security experts have =
pointed it out: The agencies are attacking the essence of the Internet itse=
lf, as well as the privacy of all of its users.

'We had to comply'

"Cryptography forms the basis for trust online," Bruce Schneier, an encrypt=
ion specialist and fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Soci=
ety, told The Guardian. "By deliberately undermining online security in a s=
hort-sighted effort to eavesdrop, the NSA is undermining the very fabric of=
the internet."

Classified briefings between the agencies celebrate their success at "defea=
ting network security and privacy," he said.

"For the past decade, NSA has lead [sic] an aggressive, multi-pronged effor=
t to break widely used internet encryption technologies," a 2010 GCHQ docum=
ent stated. "Vast amounts of encrypted internet data which have up till now=
been discarded are now exploitable."

The paper and others have also reported previously that Microsoft has coope=
rated with NSA to circumvent encryption in its Outlook mail program, saying=
it was obliged to comply with "existing or future lawful demands" when des=
igning its products.

hat says, when it comes to government, they've got you coming and going.<BR=
><BR>No truer words are spoken when the subject comes to serial invasions o=
f your privacy. Not only is the National Security Agency monitoring your ev=
ery electronic communication, but the agency is paying your tech company an=
d Internet service provider to hack you as well.<BR><BR>According to Britai=
n's <I>The Guardian</I> newspaper, which broke the story of massive NSA spy=
ing earlier this year:<BR><BR><I>U.S. and British intelligence agencies hav=
e successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundred=
s of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, onli=
ne transactions and emails, according to top-secret documents revealed by f=
ormer contractor Edward Snowden.<BR><BR>The files show that the National Se=
curity Agency and its UK counterpart GCHQ have broadly compromised the guar=
antees that internet companies have given consumers to reassure them that t=
heir communications, online banking and medical records would be indecipher=
able to criminals or governments.</I><BR><BR><B>If need be, the use of 'bru=
te force' to break encryption</B><BR><BR>In other words, those little priva=
cy spiels that social media and tech companies put on their sites to "assur=
e you" that your privacy is "guaranteed" - are lies. And what's more, they =
are government-sanctioned lies.<BR><BR>The files that Snowden - who is curr=
ently in Russia, having been granted temporary political asylum by Presiden=
t Vladimir Putin - provided show that the agencies use a number of methods =
in their systematic, continual assault on what they perceive as one of the =
biggest threats to their ability to access billions of bytes of Internet tr=
affic - "the use of ubiquitous encryption across the Internet."<BR><BR>The =
paper said the methods include covert measures ensuring <A href=3D"http://w=
ww.naturalnews.com/NSA.html"><SPAN style=3D"COLOR: #3366cc; TEXT-DECORATION=

yption standards, use of supercomputers to break encryption protocols and p=
rotections using "brute force," and - the most closely guarded of all secre=
ts - "collaboration with technology companies and Internet service provider=
s themselves."<BR><BR>Through the establishment of these covert and unconst=
itutional partnerships - private firms have as much legal obligation to pro=
tect your privacy as the government does - these agencies have had placed i=
nto commercial <A href=3D"http://www.naturalnews.com/encryption.html"><SPAN=
style=3D"COLOR: #3366cc; TEXT-DECORATION: none">encryption</SPAN></A> soft=
ware the ability to penetrate it in what are known as "backdoors" or "trapd=
oors."<BR><BR>According to the files provided by Snowden:<BR><BR>-- A decad=
e-long NSA program targeting encryption technologies made a huge breakthrou=
gh in 2010, which then made "vast amounts" of data collected through Intern=
et cable taps finally "exploitable."<BR><BR>-- The NSA spends $250 million =
taxpayer dollars annually on a program that, among other goals, works throu=
gh <A href=3D"http://www.naturalnews.com/tech_companies.html"><SPAN style=
=3D"COLOR: #3366cc; TEXT-DECORATION: none">tech companies</SPAN></A> to "co=
vertly influence" the design of their products.<BR><BR>-- The secrecy of th=
e programs' capabilities to thwart encryption is extremely closely guarded,=
and analysts are warned: "Do not ask about or speculate on sources or meth=
ods."<BR><BR>-- The NSA describes its strong decryption programs as the "pr=
ice of admission for the U.S. to maintain unrestricted access to and use of=
cyberspace."<BR><BR>-- A GCHQ team has been developing ways to access encr=
ypted traffic on each of the "big four" service providers: Hotmail, Google,=
Yahoo and Facebook.<BR><BR>As usual, both agencies <I>insist</I> they need=
to defeat all encryption in order to maintain national security and combat=
terrorism and the ability of foreign governments to gather intelligence.<B=
R><BR>But, of course, there is another aspect to this, and security experts=
have pointed it out: The agencies are attacking the essence of the Interne=
t itself, as well as the privacy of all of its users.<BR><BR><B>'We had to =
comply'</B><BR><BR>"Cryptography forms the basis for trust online," Bruce S=
chneier, an encryption specialist and fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center fo=
r Internet and Society, told <I>The Guardian</I>. "By deliberately undermin=
ing online security in a short-sighted effort to eavesdrop, the NSA is unde=
rmining the very fabric of the <A href=3D"http://www.naturalnews.com/intern=
et.html"><SPAN style=3D"COLOR: #3366cc; TEXT-DECORATION: none">internet</SP=
AN></A>."<BR><BR>Classified briefings between the agencies celebrate their =
success at "defeating network security and privacy," he said.<BR><BR>"For t=
he past decade, NSA has lead [sic] an aggressive, multi-pronged effort to b=
reak widely used internet encryption technologies," a 2010 GCHQ document st=
ated. "Vast amounts of encrypted internet data which have up till now been =
discarded are now exploitable."<BR><BR>The paper and others have also repor=
ted previously that Microsoft has cooperated with NSA to circumvent encrypt=
ion in its Outlook mail program, saying it was obliged to comply with "exis=
ting or future lawful demands" when designing its products.<BR><BR>Sources:=
