Si mes communications sont chiffrées, suis-je plus particulièrement ciblé ?
Deux points de vue sur la question, un juriste et Phil Zimmerman (oui, celui de PGP).
NB : la question ne concerne que des « United States person » puisque pour les autres, la #NSA ne connait aucune limitation…
Le tout s’appuie sur un des documents diffusés par Snowden et publié par le Guardian Procedures used by NSA to minimize data collection from US persons
▻http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jun/20/exhibit-b-nsa-procedures-document
Dans lequel il est explicitement indiqué que le chiffrement d’une communication invalide toutes les limitations de durée de conservation (5 ans).
(On y lit aussi, implicitement, que la NSA peut TOUT stocker
The communications that may be retained include electronic communications acquired because of limitations on NSA’s ability to filter communications.

Pour le juriste, c’est clair, la NSA peut (ou pourra) tout lire à livre ouvert.
Okay, Tyler, now the tough question: “If I start encrypting my email, doesn’t that mean I’m more likely to attract NSA attention?” Tyler had this to say:
I’ve spoken to security researchers who believe all modern encryption methods have been broken — encryption is dead. If you rely on that assumption, plus the knowledge that encrypted files are being stored indefinitely, then encryption is indeed asking the government to investigate.
Pour Zimmerman, évidemment…
Phil firmly believes that PGP and Silent Circle are not breakable. He designed both.
et sur la question, sa position (il a été interviewé il y a un an)
To get things rolling, I mentioned to Phil that readers are concerned encrypting digital communications will attract the NSA’s attention, not something in their best interest. Phil answered by asking if I remembered the movie, I am Spartacus ? I said I did; it had a great cast of actors.
Phil next zeroed in on the scene where everyone stood up, everyone said they were Spartacus, all wanting to remain steadfast in their solidarity. Phil then drove the point home saying that is what everyone needs to do right now, stand up and retake their privacy.

Il est gentil, Philou, mais il oublie que, dans le film ( Spartacus , de Kubrick, 1960), juste après tous ces braves Spartacus finissent sur une croix…
