2048 bit TLS encryption? You mean 2048 bit RSA encryption? Also what source do you have that says the NSA can not crack a 2048 bit RSA key? Last I checked that info was non public and there is no definitive, credible source saying whether they can or can not crack 2048 RSA keys.

Yes I meant RSA key, sorry. My source is that 2^2048 is an enormous number and the time estimate for a desktop computer to crack it is in the quadrillions of years. Yes, I know the NSA has higher computing power than a desktop computer.
