Since the * 1940's, the NSA reportedly rigged encryption systems sold by the * Swiss firm Crypto A.G. so that the agency retained the ability * to break the codes of anyone using the machines. * * Thus, Fort Meade was able to listen in on the coded military and * diplomatic traffic of the more than 130 countries that were Crypto * A.G. customers. Initially, the NSA tried to say they couldn't decrypt Key Recovery impaired traffic on the fly: ! The New York Times, December 29, 19??, by David Burnham ! "Vast Coding of Data is Urged to Hamper Electronic Spies" ! ! Because the National Security Agency is actively involved in the ! design [of Key Recovery cryptography], the agency will have the ! technical ability to decipher the messages. ! ! Walter G. Deeley, NSA deputy director for communications security ! said, "It is technically possible for the Government to read such ! messages, but it would be insane for it to do so. It would be an ! extraordinarily expensive undertaking and would require a massive ! increase in computer power." Probably since noone believed that, they admitted it, and said why they needed to decrypt in real-time: # Encryption and Law Enforcement # # Dorothy E.
