Ah, more 3 monkeys syndrome? If a flaw exists but nobody knows about the details, it no longer exists? If we don't publish the evidence about the Earth being round, then it will stay flat, right? Perhaps NXP merely wants to secure the job continuity of sys admins, compliance, and security people, do you think? Given that those in charge rarely listen in any case, perhaps they are trying to promote stress related health problems in a secret conspiracy with doctors. ;- Best, Allen - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
