Looking back at the Snowden revelations

The Snowden leaks six years ago (at the time of writing, Sep 2019) mark what, from my vantage point, looks like an acceleration of improvements to cryptography, and a half a decade of discoveries of fundamental flaws which broke the algorithms and hardware we rely on for privacy: Dual EC, Heartbleed, AES, Diffie-Hellman. This article looks at how things have changed since.
