There is indeed noindication of the kind of techniques used. If I
recall it correctly, there are some claims and internal rumors by the
NSA (which they usually don't do otherwise). Also Jacob talked[0] about
handshakes being recorded to analyze them retrospectively and disclosed
the locations where this happens.

Anyways, the takeaway of the talk/documents as I got it is that the NSA
fears the use of GPG, of OTR and of Tails, since it's "catastrophic" to
decrypt.
