Encryption remains a key security tool despite newly leaked
    documents revealing the National Security Agency's efforts to bend
    crypto and software to its will in order to ease its

    revelations, users are better off using encryption than not using
    encryption," says Robin Wilton, technical outreach director of the

    institution] and you rely on the integrity of your transactions,
    what are you supposed to be doing now? Are you compromised?"
