I am looking at this only as an interesting puzzle (any motivations of various parties involved are of no relevance in this narrow context). I have no crypto expertise so my question may make no sense. But can one do a "black box" analysis (that is, no peeking at source code!) to figure out if keys are being leaked etc.? I am thinking something analogous to spectal analysis of signals. For instance, doing fourier analysis on the encrypted white noise or some such.
