US NSA Cybersecurity Office Interested in "Crypto"
The US National Security Agency (NSA) plans to create a quantum-resistant cryptotechnology. The objectives of the project are currently unknown.
According to a Twitter rep for William Turton, head of the NSA’s cybersecurity department, Anne Neuberger, announced at the 10th annual cyber security summit in Billington that her agency is developing a quantum-resilient “crypto”.
Neuberger’s comment may indicate that the NSA is working on cryptographic technology, not cryptocurrency (editor’s note: in the original, the head announced the development of “crypto”, which could mean both the creation of cryptocurrency and cryptographic technology).
The NSA’s Cybersecurity Authority was created in July and is “responsible for preventing and eradicating threats to US national security systems and the US defense industrial base.” It is expected that it will begin operations on October 1.
According to classified documents received by The Intercept from Edward Snowden, the NSA made Bitcoin surveillance one of its priorities. One NSA document said the agency collected personal information such as BTC user passwords, data on their Internet activity, and device identifiers.
Recently, Ecash creator David Chaum announced that he will launch Praxxis cryptocurrency. The Praxxis protocol is also resistant to quantum computing. This means that the protocol can survive the attacks carried out by quantum computers, and Praxxis can be resistant to regular cryptanalysis initiated by hackers and even government agencies.
