GCHQ claim to have developed a programme that enables “them to read encrypted communications”. The revelation is made in today’s extensive Privacy and Security report from the Intelligence and Security Committee. It’s also extensively redacted, or as they might say… encrypted. 

The redactions mean there’s no way to tell how far reaching GCHQ’s decryption program has come, but the fact that they are admitting to having the ability to break the encryption used by terrorists, hostile states and sexting teenagers means they are far more capable than Digital Dave has been letting on.
