Thanks to documents filtered by Edward Snowden (public figure of which you have a film based on his story in theaters) we learned of the capacity of the NSA to break trillions of encrypted connections.
Today, researchers from the prestigious universities of Pennsylvania, INRIA, CNRS and Université de Lorraine have been able to demonstrate how the NSA broke the security ofDHE, the most used encryption on the Internet.
It took the researchers only two months of work and a few months. 3.000 computers break the secure DUS system, which has made it possible to decipher hundreds of millions of secure communications HTTPS, the system used on the Internet for, For example, connections with banks, the Tax Agency, etc.
“Se estima que quebrantar esta seguridad está al alcance de personas u organizaciones que pueden pagar cientos de millones de dólares en equipos para este propósito”, researchers comment.
If we take into account the billions that move criminal organizations or the intelligence services of the countries, I wonder if the consultation of the bank statement that I made this morning could have been seen by people thousands of kilometers from here.
