As the Obama administration considers shifting the collection of Americans' phone records from the National Security Agency to requiring that they be stored at phone companies or elsewhere, it's quietly funding research that would allow it to search the information using encryption so that phone company employees or eavesdroppers couldn't see who the U.S. is spying on, The Associated Press has learned.
