Previously broke the American surveillance program PRISM (Prism program) under the relevant details of the plan, so that the public suddenly find that the United States is constantly eavesdropping on security grounds was from various countries and peoples of the information, whether the name of national security, buttressed but violated the privacy practices of public legitimacy also sparked public discussion previously was broke again, in fact, Microsoft has long been the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) to provide backdoor for a long time, while the more recent Bloomberg report, in fact, seems to have provided Google Android similar functionality to the U.S. government.
Although Microsoft did not directly confirmed, but according to the information security company cryptonym information released from Windows 95, Microsoft will offer a program called "_NSAKEY" suspicious encryption key (NSA exactly is the U.S. National Security Agency English abbreviation), This key is "seems" to open any encrypted files through the Windows system, that any files in the Windows system, almost all of which can be read on the National Security Agency, which is the safety of the user thinks system encryption, the U.S. government is doing nothing useful.
For this key, Microsoft, while recognizing its existence, but does not want to answer any questions related purposes, but so to guess, the answer is surely the hearts of the people.According PanSci reports, the recent Xbox login correction, 24 hours to connect once, Skype communication seems to have hidden a lot of doubts, though this seems a little pan derivative conspiracy theory, but it will inevitably lead to Microsoft's practice of people suspect.
After following Microsoft, Bloomberg has recently revealed, in fact, known as open source Google Android system, in fact, the same as the NSA program code written in a dedicated all versions of Android, Google spokesman Gina Scigliano also confirmed this, but she Because Google has also said that the system is an open source, so anyone can add to their program code, so Google can not comment on the matter.
Although Android is an open system, but Google does also put the NSA program code integrated into Android, and is published from 2011 to the later version contains the program code, which is whether it is Samsung, HTC Android device or SONY These procedures are included. According to the NSA's argument, they wrote and put additional program code into the Android system in order to increase their safety, it can avoid the device to the individual and the company or vendor hackers to read, to ensure the security of communications equipment. And NSA to provide the program code is publicly available for public viewing line by line, but the NSA spokesman Vanee Vines was unwilling to explain whether these procedures codes or relating prism plan.
Because Google's global mobile communications market Andorid obtain more than half of the market, this may be so because NSA participate Android system, but the U.S. government that claims to be the added thoughts Android security program code also given rise to the practice really worried, including the European government agencies and companies are worried that their data line number in front of the U.S. government simply ineffectual cover, exposing the project under the prism, so that all parties are difficult to completely phase whether the U.S. government's Foreign saying something to hide.
