The director of the US National Security Agency on Monday sought allies at an elite technology conference amid lingering distrust about widespread online snooping.
Admiral Michael Rogers, who heads US Cyber Command as well as directing the NSA, stated his case at the opening of a Wall Street Journal WSJDLive conference here.
"We increasingly live in an acrimonious environment where differences in perspective are made almost personal," Rogers said.
"Government is largely distrusted. We have got to work our way through things and find out how we are going to work together."
Rogers avoided being pinned down regarding whether he favored having US tech companies install "back doors" that intelligence agents could use to get into systems or devices.
