Seems possible. However, not very probable IMHO. As others have said, would the guy really have a 10yr NDA, afterwords which would allow him to post such details ? Seems rather silly on that alone. The further unfortunate thing about this is that any number of potential implementation bugs can now be clouded in conspiracy theory. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=129237675106730&w=2 Hell, if people believe 9/11 was all staged, ipsec backdoors are a no brainer. I can see it now. The next bug that is found in the crypto system or network stack will draw a flood of discussion. "Is this the back door??"
