It seems that it would be a standard communications security problem.
NSA presumably has crypto to send messages safely over cables they
don't own, airwaves, and all kinds of other stuff.  The public
Internet would be just like any other untrusted medium, though the
specific threats to manage would necessarily vary according to the
environment.

(I mean, it's not like DOD is sending TS information through Hotmail
protected by a Pig Latin translator...)
