Fully agree. I suspect the released figures showing a spike in FBI
wire-taps may be cover/laundry and indicative of receiving domestic
targetted "crime" tips from NSA.

The fastest hardware implementation of RC4 that I know is 2 bytes/clock. I
personally programmed a 1 byte/clock RC4 in a FPGA, it's quite simple.
At 2 bytes/clock you still need a clock of 10 gigahertz to encrypt 100
Gbps. That's unfeasible, the way it's done is using paralelism, then you
can use
I believe Anonymity is a problem orders of magnitude bigger than privacy.
Tor seems like the only serious project aiming at solving it but I think
you should be wise by choosing your enemies and Tor in its current state
is useless against government-type surveillance for the following reasongs

Oops, miscalculation. That should be a 6.5 Ghz clock for 100 Gbps. ((100
Gbps/8)/2) . Anyway I don't think anybody has hardware that fast except
maybe for IBM with the Power8.

Lots of different terms are a similar set of things for different people.

If you had an extra $2-3K to give to a liberationtech or crypto project,
who do you think would benefit the most?
