Washington: The National Security Agency has backdoor access to all Windows software since the release of Windows 95, according to informed sources, a development that follows the insistence by the agency and federal law enforcement for backdoor "keys" to any encryption, according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Having such "keys" is essential for the export of any encryption under US export control laws.

The NSA plays a prominent role in deliberations over whether such products can be exported. It routinely turns down any request above a megabyte level that exceeds NSA's technical capacity to decrypt it. That's been the standard for years for NSA, as well as the departments of Defense, Commerce and State.

Computer security specialists say the Windows software driver used for security and encryption functions contains usual features that give NSA the backdoor access.

The security specialists have identified the driver as ADVAPI.DLL. It enables and controls a variety of security functions. The specialists say that in Windows, it is located at C:\\Windows\system.

Specialist Nicko van Someren says the driver contains two different keys. One used by Microsoft to control cryptographic functions in Windows, while another initially remained a mystery.

Then, two weeks ago, a US security firm concluded that the second key belonged to NSA. Analysis of the driver revealed that one was labeled KEY, while the other was labeled NSAKEY, according to sources. The NSA key apparently had been built into the software by Microsoft, which Microsoft sources don't deny.

This has allowed restricted access to Microsoft's source code software that enables such programming.

Access to Windows source code is supposed to be highly compartmentalized, actually making such actions easier because many of the people working on the software wouldn't see the access.

Such access to the encryption system of Windows can allow NSA to compromise a person's entire operating system. The NSA keys are said to be contained inside all versions of Windows from Windows 95 OSR2 onwards.

Having a secret key inside the Windows operating system makes it "tremendously easier for the NSA to load unauthorized security services on all copies of Microsoft Windows, and once these security services are loaded, they can effectively compromise your entire operating system," according to Andrew Fernandez, chief scientist with Cryptonym Corporation of North Carolina.


Commentary: All of us who trust in the Lord, can pray this Psalm and the Lord God will hear,

"Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked, from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity" Psalm 64:2.

This is the answer to those who pray and trust in the Lord,

"And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they trust in Him" Psalm 37:40.

From time to time, I have shared the many cyber attacks I have experienced since initiating this website on instructions from the Lord God; nevertheless, whom the Lord calls, He enables. The Word of God says,

"But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest haply you be found even to fight against God" Acts 5:39.

This is how it will be for the children of the Most High God, until the Lord catches us up from the face of the earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).

This breach of privacy will continue until the antichrist himself has complete control over the world's population, even over what every man may buy or sell (Revelation 13:16-18), except those who refuse and give up their lives for the sake of Christ.

You will either stand firm for God, or you will fall under the dictatorship of the antichrist, receive his mark and end up in hell fire forever (Revelation 14:9-11).

The best choice is to be prayed up and ready to go when the Lord comes for His people before the "great tribulation" begins.
