"Zimmermann said that media needs to have a perspective about the
"breaking-the-encryption" disclosures made by The New York Times, ProPublica
and The Guardian. "From a mathematical perspective, the crypto still works,"
he said. The fact to note is that NSA has been able to find a way around
encryption. "Think of it is as instead of blasting through a steel door, you
can break open the glass window next to it and put your hand in and open the
door," he said."

Is PGP secure against the NSA vacuum?
