LOL! My friend does not clean toilets. LOL! I will have to let them know about that one!
They trust me having, known me since childhood. Very close. Very trusting.
As far as pulling my leg, no chance. We have more respect for each other than that.
I guess maybe you have no very close friends and have no clue about the kind of friendship relationship that I am talking about.

Well if what you say is true than you are betraying your friends trust. So that would therefore mean what you are saying is not true.
The two things cancel each other out.

Security clearances are not usually taken lightly.

Exactly, plus haven't the best minds on ATS said in relation to the "disclosure" topic that if a government or agency was gonna disclose anything, they'd do it through second hand accounts and the like so that people like the members on ATS could debunk it even if it were true?
There's always one nugget of truth in a mound of trash, it's just finding which is the true nugget we're all looking for that's the problem.

I have friends who work for NSA as consultants and they have security clearances. Breaching that security clearance can not only get them a possible life-sentence, but their careers would effectively be ruined. They are authorized to mention is what they specialize in e.g: quantum computing, set theory, etc.
Your friend may work at the NSA, but much like Bob Lazar who claims to have worked at Area 51 and has legitimate checks given to Area 51 employees as proof, he most probably cleans the toilets and doesn't need a security clearance. Personally, I doubt a cryptographer would risk their entire life and career just so they can divulge information that will be known in a month's time. It is possible, just very very unlikely and rare, and even if he is a cryptographer with a security clearance, he may just be pulling your leg.

If you find a nugget in a mound of trash...don't touch it! it may look golden but you never know.....
This. If anyone here actually knows someone in the NSA, then they know they don't tell them a single thing that they aren't supposed to. Doesn't matter if you are a lifelong friend, brother, son, father, etc. They will not and cannot say anything that will ever come close to jeopardizing their career and freedom.
