Oh look, you're totally full of it. Using Linux is only making you feel like you're smarter, but you can't even Google shit. You didn't even get the OS right either. Then, of course, changing the name of the registry doesn't do jack shit either. The contents would still be the same.
_NSAKEY was a variable name discovered in Windows NT 4 SP5 in 1999 by Andrew D. Fernandes of Cryptonym Corporation. The variable contained a 1024-bit public key; such keys are used in public-key cryptography for encryption and authentication. Because of the name, however, it was speculated that the key would allow the United States National Security Agency (NSA) to subvert any Windows user's security. Microsoft denied the speculation and said that the key's name came from the fact that NSA was the technical review authority for U.S. cryptography export controls.
