The US National Security Agency has secretly developed encryption
technology that billions of internet users rely to protect everything
from email to financial transactions, according to media reports citing
documents obtained by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The
Guardian, The New York Times and journalistic nonprofit ProPublica
reported on Thursday that the US National Security Agency has bypassed
or altogether cracked much of the digital encryption used by businesses
and everyday Web users. Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds reports.
