   It probably has. But not regarding the recognisability of the pgp/gpg data   
   afaik.

   I don't see any evidence of that.

   Why do you think so. The NSA (and likes) wouldn't turn of their 2016 systems,   
   if they still keep working and giving them valuable data...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
