So far, there is one story where Eva claims the NSA can break tor easily, see this Tor and HTTPS graphic as proof: https://secure.security.nl/artikel/40574/1/%2522NSA_kan_Tor-gebruikers_identificeren%2522.html If your adversary is any rumored global passive adversary that can watch and record the entire Internet at once, then you've probably already lost the game. At PETS in 2009[0], Paul did a talk on 'why I'm not an entropist' and suggested that people need to start working on defeating a mythical global passive adversary. Maybe in the near future some government will have the capability of being the global passive adversary.
