Stronger encryption in Apple's iPhones and on websites like Facebook has "petrified" the U.S. government because it has made it harder to spy on communications, Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who first reported on Edward Snowden's stolen files, told CNBC.
Former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden caused major shockwaves around the world in 2013 when he unveiled the surveillance body's wide ranging spying practices, which included regularly attempting to snoop on data held by major technology companies.
Greenwald, the man who helped Snowden publish the documents, said that Silicon Valley companies have bolstered the encryption on their products, thereby making it harder for governments to eavesdrop.
"They (Apple) are now starting to put serious encryption technologies in their new iPhones in their new releases and this has really petrified governments around the world," Greenwald told CNBC in an interview at tech fair CeBIT in Germany.

Apple, Google, Facebook and Yahoo are some of the major companies that have been in the spotlight after Snowden's revelations. Information from Snowden documents released earlier this month detailed how the CIA had been trying for a decade to crack the security in Apple's products. And last year, Yahoo revealed that it was threatened with a $250,000-per-day fine if it didn't hand over data to the NSA.
The tech giants have been taking major steps to make sure their communications are safe from spying, a move Greenwald -- who won a Pulitzer prize for his reporting on the topic -- said was motivated by the fear of losing customers rather than care for data privacy.
"I don't(think) they suddenly care about privacy," Greenwald said.
"Ifyou're a Facebook executive or an Apple executive, you're extremely worried that the next generation of usersare going to be vulnerable to the pitch from Brazilian, and Korean and German social media companies where they advertise and say don't use Facebook and Google because they'll give your data to the NSA."

As Julian Assange marks 1,000 days in Ecuador's London Embassy, teleSUR spoke with him and Ecuadors Foreign Minister on the importance of this landmarkcase.
On Monday Julian Assange marks his 1,000th day in the Ecuadorean embassy in London. 24,000 hours spent trapped in a handful of little rooms in a non-descript Knightsbridge road: tirelessly working, rarely venturing into the sunlight.
While the building appears unremarkable, the symbolism of the four walls is great. Because ironically, the inside represents the freedom offered by the Latin American country, and outside, persecution and indefinite imprisonment await. Yet the Australian national has never been charged with a crime.
This is the tale of one of the greatest battles over freedom of speech in modern history, and how the tiny nation of Ecuador became an internationally recognized champion of human rights against the opposition of two imperialist giants.
In interviews with teleSUR, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and Ecuadors Foreign minister have outlined the significance of this battle to defend those who publish the truth, whatever the consequences for the powerful.
Patino believes that these events underline how they show a commitment to safeguarding human rights, freedom and life, in todays Latin America that is in stark contrast to a past riddled with dictators and human rights abused
It has been a difficult 1000 days. Not so much for me but for my family, Assange told teleSUR in an interview in the run up to the Monday's anniversary.
For me, I have plenty of things to concentrate on that are not in the embassy. I have an organization to run.
That organization, Assanges website Wikileaks, exploded into the limelight in April 2010 when it released an electrifying U.S. military video. It depicted U.S. military personnel in an Apache helicopter killing 18 civilians in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad, including two Reuters staff. The clip, entitled Collateral Murder, would be the first piece of evidence pointing to U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan in the public domain.
Two months later, Chelsea Manning, a then-22-year-old intelligence private with the U.S. military in Iraq, was arrested, charged with disclosing national secrets. It would later become apparent that Manning had executed the biggest leak in history: millions upon millions of top secret computer files, cascades of damaging documents.

Holden, who authored the new study, predicted that bitcoin's active user base will rise to about 4.7 million by 2019 from about 1.3 million in 2014.
That growth, however, will not directly translate to an increase in the value of bitcoin transactions. In fact, the Juniper report predicts a major drop in the total sum of transaction values for 2015, followed by a gradual increase through 2019. The paper attributes this fall in part to temporary trader concerns over the cryptocurrency's future.
And there are several major impediments for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies' (generally known as altcoins) ascension to the mainstream, Holden said. He pointed to three things keeping the technology within a relatively narrow world: The prices of these digital assets have gone through significant volatility since their inception, exchanges have suffered thefts and mysteriously missing funds, and becoming an active consumer or retail user requires some tech know-how.

"These all make it exceedingly difficult to bring bitcoin, to bring altcoin, into the mass market," he said, adding that technologies like Apple Pay should be the focus of most retailers.
Still, the volatility issue will likely decline, Holden said.
Juniper's analysis expected that some kind of regulation would occur on cryptocurrency exchanges in the short to medium term, which should calm the price movement somewhat, he said.

Asked by Michael Ellis, a Conservative MP, if there had been "financial consequences", Mrs May replied: "If work has to be done in order to try to mitigate the impact then that takes resource."
It is understood the security services MI5 and MI6 have had to mothball or abandon "safe houses" whose locations were revealed by the Snowden documents, because they were considered compromised.
The impact will also have had a wide-ranging effect on staffing hours and deployment.
Edward Snowden has sought political asylum in Russia
Outside the committee, Mr Ellis said: "It is clear to me the damage Snowden has done is monumental.
"Not only has he jeopardised national security by his leaks, but he has also put people at risk and it is clear that he has also caused considerable financial loss."
David Cameron: Guardian Snowden leaks 'damaged national security'
Quarter of criminals being watched by GCHQ have gone off radar since Snowden leaks
Snowden stole tens of thousands of files from systems at the US National Security Agency in 2013 from which the techniques and methods of it and GCHQ were exposed in a series of articles in The Guardian newspaper.
In the wake of the scandal, Sir John Sawers, then Chief of MI6, said Britains enemies would be rubbing their hands with glee.
