Paris Attacks Would Not Have Happened Without Crypto (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader writes with a story at Ars Technica, citing a Yahoo News interview, that National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers has explicitly blamed the terrorist attacks which struck Paris last November on communications backed by strong crypto. From the article:
Because of encrypted communications, he said, "we did not generate the insights ahead of time. Clearly, had we known, Paris would not have happened."
Rogers did not explicitly re-launch the campaign waged by FBI director James Comey to force technology companies to provide a "golden key" to encrypted communications. Rogers called encryption "foundational to our future" and added that arguing over encryption backdoors was "a waste of time." But he did say that encryption was making the job of the NSA and law enforcement more difficult.
The interview comes shortly after the FBI won an order requiring Apple to provide technical means to bypass the security measures preventing them from unlocking the iPhone 5C belonging to Syed Rizwan Farook. Farook, along with his wife, are responsible for the December mass shooting in San Bernardino, California."
because how else could the attackers have been in so many places at once. Magic? Jet Packs?!?!? Why it's the Car's that they drove to those locations that enabled them to murderate all those people. If we would just get rid of all cars in Paris this would never happen again.

You succumbed to that propaganda, too, eh?
Oops, I mean the truth.

They used the incidious ROT-26 encryption. How are police expected to bypass that?!!!
My sci-fi novel, Ghost Thief, is now available from Amazon.com.
Wait, you mean those speeches at the debates were *encrypted*? Well, that makes sense now; what they were saying made no logical sense in English.
Well, ultimately, he was Brute forced to die.

Terrible. I've never wanted mod someone down for a joke before.
Caesar's assassins used the ET-2 scheme.
Just to add to the confusion, there's another one from Alabama.

Someone needs to put a stop to all this shit.

I always do ROT13 twice, to be doubly secure!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
They should be signing their comments and press releases with a PGP key to avoid confusion.
