A report from the NSA shows that the United States is preparing new encryption standards, which cannot be bypassed by the country's top password cracking agencies. NSA has been involved in part of this process, but insists that they have no way to bypass the new standards.
Rob Joyce, director of network security of the national security administration, made it clear in an interview that the new encryption standard "does not include a back door", which technically means that people can use a deliberate and hidden defect to crack encryption.
Previously, an encryption algorithm "dual EC drbg" developed by NSA was abandoned as a federal standard in 2014 because of concerns that it contained a back door.
The new standard aims to resist quantum computing, a developing technology that is expected to solve mathematical problems that today's computers cannot solve. But the back door is actually a concern of the White House, because it may hack the encrypted data supporting the U.S. economy and national security related secrets in the same way.
