Instead of cracking each encoded message they intercept, it would be much easier for the NSA to simply obtain the decryption codes directly from the central authorities like Symantec/VeriSign. This would greatly simplify the problem and would allow the NSA to instantly decode much of the encrypted communication it intercepts
Symantec and VeriSign don't create the encryption keys. You do. The private key remains private. Their job is to simply add a trusted digital signature to the public key that you've produced.
this is exactly how so many Obama supporters went from being pro-transparency, anti-wars, anti-Guantanamo, anti-torture, etc. to anti-transparency, pro-wars, pro-waterboarding. They have to support their "side" at all costs, even when it means reversing their opinions.
