Schneier often has great insight but this blog post was pretty much the opposite of that. I <i>think</i> I recall reading the original post from the guy who found that NYU info; and I def. read the Intercept piece.<p>Schneier&#x27;s post quotes the original article and says unfortunately we don&#x27;t know more. Literally over 50% of it is a quote from another article which he derides for it&#x27;s lack of substance. Not sure what the point is.

I wonder how programmable it is... Assuming it&#x27;s not programmable would be an argument not to use standard encryption algorithms.

&gt; Whatever the details, this is exactly the sort of thing the NSA should be spending their money. Breaking the cryptography used by other nations is squarely in the NSA&#x27;s mission.<p>I can&#x27;t tell if it&#x27;s sarcasm. (it&#x27;s a serious question)

&quot;Unfortunately, the Intercept decided not to publish most of the document, so all of those people with &quot;a Ph.D. in a related field&quot; can&#x27;t read and understand WindsorGreen&#x27;s capabilities. What sorts of key lengths can the machine brute force? Is it optimized for symmetric or asymmetric cryptanalysis? Random brute force or dictionary attacks? We have no idea.&quot;<p>When I was reading the news article, I thought to myself, should they really be publishing classified information? The dumb leak was one thing, but publishing it more broadly is a whole different thing. If this was a government contract, I would assume these are classified documents (which they are). Obviously we tax payers should have the right to know, but logically, wouldn&#x27;t that consider a crime just like leaking to Wiki Leaks?
