So the latest Snowden data contains hints that the NSA (a) spends a great deal of money on cracking encrypted Internet traffic; (b) recently made some kind of a cryptanalytic "breakthrough". What are we to make of this? (Obviously, this will all be wild speculation unless Snowden leaks more specific information - which wouldn't fit his style, at least as demonstrated so far.)
