German armed forces ban MS software, citing NSA snooping | |

| Time: 04:11 EST/09:11 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Will2 | ||

The German foreign office and Bundeswehr are pulling the plugs on Microsoft software, citing security concerns, according to the German news magazine Der Spiegel. Spiegel claims that German security authorities suspect that the US National Security Agency (NSA) has 'back door' access to Microsoft source code, and can therefore easily read the Federal Republic's deepest secrets. | ||

| The real article states that the German army is banning ALL American software. Not suprisingly, the sensationalistic Microsoft hating Register decided to focus in on only Microsoft and obscure the real facts. |

| Oh yeah, as far as the NSA key, several top cryptography experts have debunked that myth. Also, anyone who has worked with cryptography knows about several cryptography algorithims developed by the DoD and NSA that several publically-available cryptosystems use. Sometimes, the keys that they use are referred to as "NSA keys", which is probably what the "NSAKEY" was all about. |
