I agree with Edward Jaffe---He put the matter more politely---that botching an
SVC does not usually have the disastrous systemic consequences that botching a
PC-PR construct can have.
Thecthrust of my comments was that the preoccupation of auditors with SVCs, all
but to the exclusion of concern with PC-PR constructs, is both unfortunate and
shortsighted.
In the cryptography community it is a commonplace that one must never assume
that the opposition is not smart enough to make effective of some piece of
cutting-edge technology. It is better, i.e., safer, to assume that they are as
smart as you are.
