Pirates Current LectureSpying/ Cryptography There is movement to encrypt user data this is an issue about security relationship to national security NSA standards are the agreed norms in an industry about how they do things NSA advocated for standards that would weaken the security of protected data Snowden revealed that big companies(Google, Microsoft)shared consumer info with NSAPro for weaker standards of security- 9/11- bad things happen so the NSA “needs” to spyon the world NSA spends money on buying flaws to spy on people This raises questions is this morally right?effective/ good way for US government to acquire information?Two Jobs for Intelligence Agency 1.
