Since the initial revelations of pervasive surveillance in 2013,
several classes of attacks on Internet communications have been
discovered. In this document, we develop a threat model that
describes these attacks on Internet confidentiality. We assume an
attacker that is interested in undetected, indiscriminate
eavesdropping. The threat model is based on published, verified
attacks.
