NSA vs. encryption

2-19-15     AMERICAN AND BRITISH spies hacked into the internal computer network of the largest manufacturer of SIM cards in the world, stealing encryption keys used to protect the privacy of cellphone communications across the globe, according to top-secret documents provided to The Intercept by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden....

Among its clients are AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint and some 450 wireless network providers around the world.  The company operates in 85 countries and has more than 40 manufacturing facilities.  One of its three global headquarters is in Austin, Texas and it has a large factory in Pennsylvania.

In all, Gemalto produces some 2 billion SIM cards a year. Its motto is “Security to be Free.”

With these stolen encryption keys, intelligence agencies can monitor mobile communications without seeking or receiving approval from telecom companies and foreign governments.  Possessing the keys also sidesteps the need to get a warrant or a wiretap, while leaving no trace on the wireless provider’s network that the communications were intercepted.  Bulk key theft additionally enables the intelligence agencies to unlock any previously encrypted communications they had already intercepted but did not yet have the ability to decrypt.

As part of the covert operations against Gemalto, spies from GCHQ — with support from the NSA — mined the private communications of unwitting engineers and other company employees in multiple countries.

Gemalto was totally oblivious to the penetration of its systems — and the spying on its employees.  “I’m disturbed, quite concerned that this has happened,” Paul Beverly, a Gemalto executive vice president, told The Intercept....

According to one secret GCHQ slide, the British intelligence agency penetrated Gemalto’s internal networks, planting malware on several computers, giving GCHQ secret access.  We “believe we have their entire network,” the slide’s author boasted about the operation against Gemalto.

Additionally the spy agency targeted unnamed cellular companies’ core networks, giving it access to “sales staff machines for customer information and network engineers machines for network maps.”  GCHQ also claimed the ability to manipulate the billing servers of cell companies to “suppress” charges in an effort to conceal the spy agency’s secret actions against an individual’s phone.  Most significantly, GCHQ also penetrated “authentication servers,” allowing it to decrypt data and voice communications between a targeted individual’s phone and his or her telecom provider’s network.     https://theintercept.com/2015/02/19/great-sim-heist/

9-24-15    The director of the NSA, Admiral Michael Rogers, just admitted at a Senate hearing that when Internet companies provide copies of encryption keys to law enforcement, the risk of hacks and data theft goes way up.

The government has been pressuring technology companies to provide the encryption keys that it can use to access data from suspected bad actors.  The keys allow the government “front door access,” as Rogers has termed it, to secure data on any device, including cell phones and tablets.

Rogers made the statement in answer to a question from Senator Ron Wyden at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday.

Wyden:   “As a general matter, is it correct that anytime there are copies of an encryption key — and they exist in multiple places — that also creates more opportunities for malicious actors or foreign hackers to get access to the keys?

Rogers:  Again, it depends on the circumstances, but if you want to paint it very broadly like that for a yes and no, then i would probably say yes.”

...“The NSA chief Admiral Rogers today confirmed what encryption experts and data scientists have been saying all along:  if the government requires companies to provide copies of encryption keys, that will only weaken data protection and open the door for malicious actors and hackers,” said Morgan Reed of the App Association in a note to VentureBeat.   https://venturebeat.com/2015/09/24/nsa-director-just-admitted-that-government-copies-of-encryption-keys-are-a-security-risk/

10-15-15  For years, privacy advocates have pushed developers of websites, virtual private network apps, and other cryptographic software to adopt the Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange as a defense against surveillance from the US National Security Agency and other state-sponsored spies.  Now researchers are renewing their warning that a serious flaw in the way the key exchange is implemented is allowing the NSA to break and eavesdrop on trillions of encrypted connections.

The cost for adversaries is by no means modest.  For commonly used 1024-bit keys, it would take about a year and cost a "few hundred million dollars" to crack just one of the extremely large prime numbers that form the starting point of a Diffie-Hellman negotiation.  But it turns out that only a few primes are commonly used, putting the price well within the NSA's $11 billion-per-year budget dedicated to "groundbreaking cryptanalytic capabilities."

"Since a handful of primes are so widely reused, the payoff, in terms of connections they could decrypt, would be enormous," researchers Alex Halderman and Nadia Heninger wrote in a blog post published Wednesday.   https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/10/how-the-nsa-can-break-trillions-of-encrypted-web-and-vpn-connections/

10-30-17     A Moscow court has rejected a lawsuit filed by Ekho Moskvy journalist Alexander Plyushchev against the Federal Security Service (FSB) over the popular encrypted messaging app Telegram.

Plyushchev and another prominent journalist, Oleg Kashin, filed the suit against the FSB over its demand that the popular Telegram messaging app turn over encryption keys to the government.    https://themoscowtimes.com/news/russian-journalists-case-against-the-fsb-over-telegram-encryption-rejected-59417

The fall of Babylon depicted in the Book of Revelation signifies the ultimate destruction

chart of the I AM Presence

                 For the Holy Cause of Freedom, IV

     The nature of divine love is such as to ever make provision for the fulfillment of God’s precepts and plans.  If it is the way of the infinite ocean to sweep through a finite causeway in order to recall a large stone from the shore back to the sea it may be that the force of the water required to move the stone will cause the tiny rocks and splinters to be scattered hither and thither….Putting the pieces together, blessed ones, I would like to make both further commentary and prognostication of possibility.  Life has provided the means to change and to avert disaster, and therefore predictions can fail or be altered.  The only predictions that cannot fail are the cosmic ones which foretell the ultimate end of a civiization through its elevation into the divine plan.  This is the Ultima Thule of civilization….

  The elementals are no longer willing to be the instruments of mankind’s discord.  Too long have they been subject to the depradations of mortals; thus those who continue to do evil and to ignore their responsibility to the great Law will under the proper exposure and circumstance find themselves literally swept away by a whirlwind of natural force.

  Freedom is on the move and those who will not move with its tide will be left behind, high and dry upon the shoals of human consciousness apart from the ocean of infinite love and light for which they shall one day certainly thirst.  Separation from God is the original sin, and it is the sin against the Holy Ghost for which there is no forgiveness, for so long as the separation remains there cannot be forgiveness.  Only when the separation is ended by man’s self-determined reunion with God can the great Gvingness of God once again bestow upon man his own rightfully earned and divinely decreed just portion….

  Surely if you open your eyes you can see that all of human cleverness is arrayed in a determined and concentrated effort to battle for the minds of men.  World chaos is amplified in every greed-motivated deed perpetuated by those who would unabashedly rob mankind of their birthright….Now some men seek to explain the origins of life as an accident of the physical sciences….Under such an acceptable concept of material evolution men are made to feel that their uncertain and short lifespan is in no way controlled by a moral code or impulse to decency other than humanism or state-oriented social codes.  Robbed of any hope of genuine immortality men are made to feel that only in striving for perfection through the evolutionary process in man and the social order can they find “reality.”  The social gospel has been made to replace the gospel of Jesus the Christ and true faith is on the wane.  Such chaos in reason, denying the great Source-Origin of life is a part of the diabolical plan conceived by the sinister force and the emissaries of darkness; it is the veritable enemy of freedom.

  The fall of Babylon depicted in the Book of Revelation signifies the ultimate destruction of the material concept and the victory of Spirit over flesh.  For has not the flesh of man been declared to be as the grass of the field? (1Pet. 1:24)

  Now American and English jurisprudence and the common law of the world is much concerned---both on land and in maritime law---with the rights of man to possess; and ownership of property and the transfer thereof is a weighty matter in law.  We do not deny the right of man to possess under the bonds of freedom, but we know that the flame of Life which is God--which flashes forth in the heart of every true son--would bestow upon man the immortal freedom to pursue happiness and the universal wisdom to possess God alone Who is everything even as He is everywhere.

We do not intend to abrogate property rights but to point out that these are transitory.  Eternal possession must be earned, and those who would pioneer in the clearing of a divine claim must not only stake their claim but also follow the precepts of the divine homestead laws which require them to live in a consecrated manner, carrying out that particular facet of service to life which they have elected to exemplify and do.  This brings forth in man the genius of perfection and victory and makes for a manifestation par excellence rather than a service that is but mediocre.

  After all, blessed ones, the earth and all that it is today is not possessed by man but rather does it possess him; nevertheless many will sell their personal pound of flesh for a handful of clay.  The shallowness of human thought and reason is nowhere more obvious than in the manner in which men pursue the kingdom of God.  Looking to find someone else who will vicariously stretch his limbs upon the cross between God and man and make sacrifice for them, they remain “free” to do as they will.  This so-called freedom is merely a postponement of the day of reckoning when all things are brought to account according to the cosmic record.  No theology nor social doctrine can alter the balance of the true scales of divine Justice; and every man shall indeed receive the reward for that which he shall do, whether it be good or evil.  This is cosmic Law, and I tell you no one can ever alter it; if there is any escape from it, it lies in casting oneself wholly into the heart of the Divine Being and from that position in God, through consecration, acting in their own behalf and on behalf of mankind as “a friend in court,” an advocate to plead the cause of righteousness.  Then, as was said of Abraham, the friend of God, God did not impute unrighteousness unto him (Pss. 32:1; 2Rom. 4:1-8; James 2:17-24)….

  If this civilization continues on its present course it shall literally tear itself apart and nature shall prepare for a new cycle to begin….If men and women of vision will accept the victory and will but give equal portion to the power of light that they have bestowed upon the shadows of mortality, they will provide a way of escape….

  Because men’s senses are dull God’s voice does not compete with the glamor or raucous voices of the world.  This is why an outer voice is needed to dissuade man from his present madness until such time as the way can be made plain through spiritual culture and spiritual education…If the response (in you to me) is not there and you do not now hear the truth of my message, I hope that you will call for its revelation within you.  For God is the great Giver of every good and perfect gift, even unto the end of the age.

            Lovingly I AM

mysteries of His heart that embody certain freedom for each lifestream

-Taj

       …Yet wherever you are when your heart beats in adoration to God and in attainment with His purposes there is a connection, a strand of great light between your world and the world of divine freedom.  The flow of divine energy over this cable is buoyant and all-knowing.  The mysteries God seeks to convey to the minds of men are the mysteries of His heart that embody certain freedom for each lifestream.

  To mortal consciousness with its latent and developing senses of soul the voice of God is heard as a whisper within the round-tower of man’s heart.  The clash and clamor of the world are intended to drown out the voice of God and to make His words seem uncertain and vague….

  You must perceive aright that it is not man alone nor even human ambition that is solely the fault with this age.  On the contrary the error lies in the driving sinister strategies of the brothers of the shadow who find in mankind’s loose ambitions a lever whereby they can open the door into the individual’s world and dump upon the screen of his mortal consciousness the refuse of their chaotic confusion….

  We now know that only by the intensification of the will of God in man can we counteract the forces of materialism riding rampant upon the human range….

  Religion and God are often identified with extreme austerity and the concept that self-denial is inherent in true piety is scattered throughout the world.  In our state we often feel that those who deny themselves the most are they who feed at the trough of the mundane swineherds and eat the husks of mortal reason, thought and feeling--complacently abiding like dumb oxen in a sickly weedpatch, whereas the green pastures of God are just around the bend of mankind’s failures waiting to be partaken of so that the soul may wax fat in divine abundance….

  The dried tree of stolid  unprogressive orthodoxy fit for the burning has a counterpart nigh at hand:  a green tree whose perennial branches pointing toward God are imbued with a holiness, dwelling not in temples made with hands nor in the swinish fodder of mortal argument and senseless dissension.  People who would be communicants to the body of Christ must behold now the peacemaking Lamb of God.  The sea of glass upon which the company of saints do stand and whereupon the Lamb of God is ministered unto before the throne of God signifies transparency of thought and feeling which permits the penetration of the unfailing light of truth and withal the tangible light of the immortal Presence of God….

  I know full well that this generation has more diligently rendered their substance unto Caesar than they have even thought of providing materially for the establishment of God’s kingdom upon earth; rendering unto God those things which are God’s does not appear to most men to be a karmic necessity….It is the spirit that uses mankind that is to blame (for world folly)--therefore purity of Spirit stemming wholly from determined God-seeking is the crying need of this hour.  Many teach the divine pursuit but withal cage men with such dogma as to make them enemies of other pilgrims upon the path….

  You see, now that I have flung down my glove my naked hand shall clasp the hand of those friends of freedom who are willing to see that the philosophy of action is needed today, and I will assist them in every way I can….

  Freedom is more than a sword,

  Freedom is a game/ Of liberation

  And the might of light,

  Of truth-telling by the power of right

  And of Love’s Laws delight.

      …progressive revelation is for the purpose of continuing the infinite release of the word of God to men in each contemporary and succeeding generation—not in refutation of the old but as an affirmation of the ever-new testament of God…The corporeal body of the living Word is announced to the present hour to men who understand it not, even as they understood him (Jesus) not in that day.  As they sought to defame his spotless character so will they often seek to deface the character of those who in succeeding generations shall do, to quote his words, “greater works than these because I go unto my Father.”

  Because of the need for understanding I proclaim my solid unity with Saint Germain as we seek to nurture the Messiah of progressive revelation whereby the curtain to the Holy of Holies, the veil in the temple of man’s being, may be rent in twain by the great lightning of divine love that, in sweeping aside ancient traditions, reveals on the altar of each man’s heart a living flame, the Paraclete beyond token, manifesting as the Presence of Life in all its immaculate wonder!

       Now the pursuit of happiness is often neglected through human restlessness without the seeker ever coming to an awareness that the train of his thought has already left the track of reason and justice.

  I shall offer then for the holy cause of freedom some constructive suggestions anent  current world unrest and the formation upon the planetary body and in the social structure of boils of wrong thought and feeling, although the latter may not be a pretty thought to contemplate.  The mere lancing  of these conditions does not remove the poison from the body unless the cause and core be ascertained and remedial steps for correction be taken by those who are able and willing withal to do so….

  The great Law of Immortal Life demands that righteousness in the use of energy shall be performed by every man, yet where ignorance flourishes this is almost impossible to accomplish.  It is true that some men have in ignorance performed good services, but such efforts are unreliable from our standpoint.  To lift the level of mankind’s existence religion and society must be willing to pursue together true happiness where it can be found.  Happiness is a nebulous thing unless it be tied to the great motors of Universal Life….

  Woe betide the individual who is content except that content be founded in the security of divine truth.  It must be remembered, precious ones, that the tired, the poor and the huddled masses of the earth yearning to breathe the air of freedom have long sought the fulfillment of a dream.  It must be borne in mind that neither hut nor palace as a point of origin has proved a hindrance to the valiant soul who has desired to enhance divine ideals here upon earth and to make way for a higher form of equity among men….

  With all that has already occurred in the name of progress there has also been a countersurge which has caused a retrograde action of many right values at the very instant a  swift forward surge has occurred.  The unwary and those who do not walk by faith but require sight are sometimes left in an unstable state of mind where their own uncertainty becomes a plague to happiness and progress….We who span the centuries in our ascended state can provide reliable advice but require from unASCENDed men faith in our judgments….

Let mighty action tie/ The rise of mind and Being rare,

For God shall answer every prayer

That holds a reverence for His Law of Love

And keeps the kindred way of right

That is the power of pen’s delight—

Mightier than shining sword’s own glow,

The thrust of holy fervor to bestow

A new colossus, vesting every man

Who rightly fulfills God’s plan.      

               Onward!

  And I understand that the fulfillment of the Law is the light of 10,000 suns descending, is the light O so cherished that is not only the heart of our chelas but the adornment of their adoration unto Love.  Let the song be sung.  Let the Elohim be heard!  And let the winging of the bird of light release thoughtform upon thoughtform of your own great God-Self.

        For purposes of gratitude and introspection a brief review will serve to show that victory can be obtained even over what seem to be desperate situations.  The wave of the future needs the pure vision of creative power in order that the transcendence of divine nature might be effectively called into action….

  Once the downward spiral has begun the individual moves still lower into subconscious pitfalls of discouragement.  This fosters doubt and prevents the powers of light from effectively overcoming evil with good….

  Ceaseless misconceptions and feelings of uncertainty must be uprooted, yet in the process the wise will seek constantly to establish virtue wherever blight is removed or rendered inactive.  Transmutation of old negations must be followed by a reeducation of the energy patterns involved that nothing may be lost but that all may be constantly exalted and retrained in the ascending spiral….

  Merely to momentarily acknowledge truth is to be lifted as in an airplane above the mountains, subsequently to descend to lower altitudes….Precious ones, have no sense of strain if the rarefied view be obscured at times so that God does not seem luminously manifest.  Keep on increasing your understanding of reality each day knowing that the law of regularity assures steadfastness in the climb and by engaging thought and feeling in the ritual of attainment you are weaving strands of light whose strength will carry you over each approaching chasm.

       The final abode of God’s light ray of individualized energy is the heart wherein the expanding threefold flame is secured.  Being then expands its awareness through the flame within the heart.  When you guard the action of that flame by determining that no person, place, condition or thing shall ever interfere with it the physical organ is strengthened and great cosmic compensation occurs to amplify the divine intent in man….If the body of man is to express the health of Almighty God this wonderful center within the body temple must be bathed daily in a pool of unsolved love.  The love of which I speak is too pure to be dissipated in feelings of self-righteousness which do subtly steal God’s vital energy.  Such love is held inviolate through a grateful sense of expanding light energy whereby the merging of the individual self with God transforms the human monad into a radiating orb of God’s all-encompassing grace and perfection….

   You are children of the dawn as you commune with the rising Son of your own God-perfection which each day imparts to you some recognition from the Godhead--if you are alert to perceive it!…Let love supersede the competitive disagreeableness of those who seek any degree of spiritual unfoldment for the purpose of mortal exaltation.  Thus we enhance the power of spiritual example and strengthen the divine contact with God for each soul….the body of God, constituting those who can discern the Lord’s body in sacred unity, is steadily expanding.  As we enter a time when the survival of man shall depend on this expansion and progress I hope we may count on you as our lists of the faithful are compiled anew….How goodly are the tents of the Almighty and how mighty are the sheep who, having heard His loving voice, are made more like Him.

        Among the greatest misconceptions that has ever been formed in the minds of men is that which concerns the nature of spiritual realms.  Men either think that heaven is remote, unfulfilling and lacking in the joys of this world or they imagine that it is the ultimate goal—the reward of the faithful and their relief from the oppressions of a world of sin, a place where they will have nothing further to do and all progress will cease.  In both cases the fallacy is in thinking that the future will bring man something that is not available to him today.  Life is abundant—here, now and forever; wherever you are it needs only to be tapped….

  Let men learn to empty themselves completely of their attachments to the earth--so shall they begin to enter into the childlike mind and spirit of creative innocence.  The greatest angels who keep the way of the Tree of Life cannot deny those who have reunited with the wholly innocent mind of God access to Eden.

     Remember, beloved ones, true values of the Spirit are always held invulnerable, locked within the human soul, placed there by God and His Son, the eternal Christos.  Beware then of those who are wolves in sheep’s clothing who would becloud the sun of divine beauty that is the great Pentecost of communion between man and God.  I refer not to sect but to the great reality of the Spirit which can be shared by any part of life, for God is no respecter of men’s persons, but He gives His love equally, freely to all.  Yet His love and His energy are not distributed to men that they might destroy but in order for them to construct spirals of the Spirit, of positivity and of cosmic gain….

  We call for vigilance and the defense of the faith against all enemies, for the toppling of the bastions of darkness and for divine union with God and His Spirit of infinite Grace.  In the moment of peril I remain wedded to your victory.

                     -Padma Sambhava, in Prayer and Meditation,  S. U. Press, 1978

 7)        The delicate thread of contact is strengthened by the communication of the Word.  The impulse of the Word from the heart of Almighty God to your soul is a vibration and a vibratory action upon the thread itself so that the quivering light and the energy is a transmission by the sine wave of God and by the very particles of the Word.

   The transfer of light from Alpha and Omega is thus twofold--impulse creating the wave of light, the wave of light transmitted as though the thread itself had become a beaded string and world upon world should receive the wave of light and even compose spheres of consciousness, though microscopic, yet having the characteristics of the macrocosm of the causal body of the sons of God….

    And the current whereby your heart beats is strengthened because the thread itself as crystal cord of light does absorb the energy of light passing through it, even as it is made up of that light and the interlaced sine waves ascending and descending.  The communication of the Word reinforces your identity as God here below.  You receive communication, [whereupon you] return it to God, return it to each point of light where there beats the heart of sacred fire. …The difference between the soul animated by the Holy Ghost and the one that is not is the difference between the body that is alive and the body that has become the corpse.

 8)     Yet by manipulation in matter they (automatons in spacecraft) become tools of that force [i.e., Absolute Evil] that is known as the anti-Mind.  It does exist.

  And thus all who have no allegiance to the I AM Presence by the threefold flame multiply themselves in physical universes according to the false hierarchy of anti-Life.  Thus they are in reality dead and only claim to be alive.  Ye who have the Sun of the Presence in your heart are truly the living.  Thus Life must prevail in an octave where Death seems to swallow up and cover the land even as the sands of the desert, creeping and crawling, devour homes and vegetation and towns.

   Therefore know, beloved, by the vibration of the higher octaves and solely by it are you personally protected from those encounters of the wrong kind which are truly not encounters with Maitreya.  To equate with the etheric octave, to draw the Electronic Presence around you, to increase the light of the spinal altar and to be nevermore without the dynamic decree--this is to repel those who seem to exercise powers over mortals, have none over the immortals and have none over those whose allegiance to Almighty God has established truly a vibrational congruency with His Presence.

 9)       Let us meditate on the heart of Lanello and his all-encompassing love for all of us, from the least unto the greatest.  Please tie your heartflame to his heartflame, because he has said many times that he will help you as long as you hang onto the thread of contact.

10)      In this day and hour the Great White Brotherhood, even led by El Morya, Chief of the Darjeeling Council, is determined to give every opportunity to those who desire it and will make use of that opportunity once again to reestablish the thread of contact with the Hierarchy of Light.

 11)      We can qualify God’s light that comes to us over this thread of contact with our decrees and our prayers and all that we send out into the world.  We are intended to expand the threefold flame and also to expand the dimension of the crystal cord—think of it now as a thread of contact.  By contrast, the diameter of the crystal cord in ancient golden age civilizations was one foot.

12)     The thread of contact must become by your devotion, by your one-pointedness a rope, a rope that may hold the anchor that is the hope, even the faith, even the promise of your heart that as the rope is thrown into the great cloud of knowing, so the anchor will be hurled….And then, beloved, with that anchor firmly secured and never wavering you can pull on the rope, know the anchor is secure, and you can climb that rope by thought, by desire, by hope and again hope until all of you is rising and none of you is left in the treacherous sea of the astral plane that is rising (in intensity).
