Since NSA & associated agencies have approved AES+CTR for
protection of classified information for up to 2 levels
(e.g. TS source in a C environment), if indeed they knew
how to readily break that with resources that hostile
governments might be able to muster, they would *not* be
properly performing the information-protection half of
their charter.



I would like a little clarification. Here you say its
that AES+CTR is approved for TS information. What do you
mean.
Could one also say English in Ascii is approved for TS
in a classifed area since only those cleared have access
to it.

Is AES+CTR approved to the degree that I could leave or
copy the encrypted TS files and take home for all to see. I
don't think so. I am betting they don't think its that safe.
Or least I hope they don't think its that safe.
