Re: If everything’s encrypted, what’s the problem?

Because a lot can be made out even from the metadata. The one thing that CAN’T be encrypted is the packet headers etc – the network itself knows source, destination, volume and timing of messages, and a lot can be determined from that. For example feed a juicy bit of (mis)information to a known point on the network and note where subsequent messages are directed …. jmch

Feed juicy bits of information to a networking point … [and you might like to realise El Reg is just such a global networking point out in plain sight] …. and any and all subsequent activity/proactivity/inactivity regarding such information exposes top secrets to be relentlessly exploited …. and carefully groomed/further developed.

Re: No intelligence

I wonder what Great Cause Richard Dearlove (“Mr Dodgy Dossier”) might be championing today? …. Nick Kew

Is that not a question to be asked of Sir John Scarlett, Alastair Campbell’s proxy?

New Blood Fresh Thinking Delivers Alternate Reality.

The USA just has to have the will to invest in its own people, and in infrastructure, so that (unlike the UK), it’s not caught trying to re-establish dominance on a crumbling foundation. …. Hollerithevo

That does not address the fact that much greater minds be elsewhere working with others. It is those thinkers and tinkerers Uncle Sam would need to invest in. Simple outrageous fiat payments to principals for required services is a very simple and well tested route to almost immediately guaranteed success.

Obviously, presently, whenever there be an intelligence deficit with competitors or allies plowing ahead for leading advantage in vital future utilities and facilities, is national treasure being squandered on payment to decrepit home systems/bankrupt assets/zombie concerns/ponzi schemes/manic markets.
