covertly influences or overly leverages
the policies, standards and specifications
of the global cryptography marketplace
to make commercial public key technologies
more crackable by the cryptanalytic capabilities
being developed by the NSA and DOD's
Central Security Service.
. it has used a quarter billion dollars yearly
for at least the past 2 years .

10.1: news.cyb/sec/m7 coprocessor knows when you are sleeping:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M7
. m7 is the motion co-processor
used by Apple's iPhone 5s.
Its function is to collect sensor data from
integrated accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses
and offload the collecting and processing of sensor data
from the main central processing unit (CPU).
It was introduced in September 2013.
It uses an ARM Cortex-M3 core.
It will enable applications to be aware of
what type of movement the user is experiencing,
such as driving, walking, running or sleeping.
