Two assumptions:
1. An encryption system is only as secure as its weakest link
2. The NSA can get the source whether its open or closed. I imagine the NSA would task a team of researchers to analyze the source code, find a vulnerability, and develop a tool to exploit it. I imagine they'd then hand the tool over to a team to deploy and operate it. No person from the TOR community would need be involved or made aware. And, assuming the NSA was the only one with the exploit, there would be no reason to stop funding Tor, since it advances American interests without (now, thanks to the exploit) threatening them. |
