Both Snowden and Schneier said something to the effect of "trust the math." [1,2] Additionally the leaked Tor presentation [3] seems to indicate, that the NSA can not break the primitives used in Tor. So the algorithms that were considered secure before the Snowden leaks seem to be secure. ( But this is purely a statement about algorithms, you still need to use a well studied and tested implementation of these.)
