If you're trying to use brute force to break this system it's important to realise that the search space is not all possible hashes. The search space is all likely names. This makes it trivial to break, especially for the CIA case where there are really only a few hundred likely adversaries.

The encryption/hashing doesn't really add anything beyond empty marketing. The trusted party who ppl report to could easily work out all of the names of they wanted to.
