If for some reason those methods fail, they can use BULLRUN, which has a much larger budget[1] and specifically tasked with "defeat[ing] the encryption used in specific network communication technologies"[2]. [1] "The funding allocated for Bullrun in top-secret budgets dwarfs the money set aside for programs like PRISM and XKeyscore. PRISM operates on about $20 million a year, according to Snowden, while Bullrun cost $254.9 million in 2013 alone. Since 2011, Bullrun has cost more than $800 million."
