Simply put, I don\u2019t think a free society is compatible with an organisation like the NSA in its current form. Yet I\u2019m glad I got the rare opportunity to visit with the NSA and I\u2019m grateful for my hosts\u2019 genuine hospitality. A large group of engineers turned up to hear my presentation, asked sharp questions, understood and cared about the privacy implications of studying password data. It affirmed my feeling that America\u2019s core problems are in Washington and not in Fort Meade. Our focus must remain on winning the public debate around surveillance and developing privacy-enhancing technology. But I hope that this award program, established to increase engagement with academic researchers, can be a small but positive step.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightbluetouchpaper.org\/2013\/07\/19\/nsa-award-for-best-scientific-cybersecurity-paper\/\">Light Blue Touchpaper \u00bb Blog Archive \u00bb NSA Award for Best Scientific Cybersecurity Paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In accepting the award I don\u2019t condone the NSA\u2019s surveillance.
