NSA has total access via Microsoft Windows

WASHINGTON – The National Security
Agency has backdoor access to all Windows software since the release of Windows
95, according to informed sources, a development which follows the insistence
by the agency and federal law enforcement for backdoor “keys” to any
encryption, according to a report in Joseph
Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
The NSA plays a prominent role in
deliberations over whether such products can be exported, and routinely turns
down any requests above a certain megabyte level that exceeds NSA’s technical
capacity to decrypt it. That’s been the standard for years for NSA, as well as
the departments of Defense, Commerce and State.
Computer security specialists say
that the Windows software driver used for security and encryption functions
contains unusual features which give NSA that backdoor access.
These security specialists have
identified the driver as ADVAPI.DLL. It enables and controls a variety of
security functions. These specialists say that on Windows, it is located at
C:\\Windows\system directory of anyone’s computer that uses Windows software.
Nicko van Someren says the driver
contains two different keys. One was used by Microsoft to control cryptographic
functions in Windows while another initially remained a mystery.
Then, two weeks ago, a U.S.
security firm concluded that the second key belonged to NSA.
