Competent people have been surprised by the scale here. The level of collusion and coercion was not obvious to many. >From their pre-shutdown reaction, NIST appear both to be surprised and to think something non-obvious has occurred and I'm sure you'd consider NIST's crypto people as being competent. I think your comment above subtly understates the situation in a way that's just not credible. The subtlety is nicely done though:-) S. _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass
