Talking related to security,
It is always good to read blogs like these and good to have so many
whistle blowers. *once a secret will not remain secret for ever.*
I think, these things might have been true a decade ago, not to forget
NSA involvement in DES. But I can strongly say "not anymore". It would
have been hard to use any OpenSource Software if anyone can put a
backdoor or a software vulnerability into a any OpenSource Software.
If one bad guy can put a hole in software, there are lot of good guys
to find it out, though it might take some time (Of Course).
c'mon, NSA ppl are not the brightest people in the world. Don't you
think how can they put *many trap* doors in an OS like OpenBSD(Primary
goal is security) and go un noticed for so long?. May be 1 or 2 go
un-noticed in some legacy code.
Correction: I mis typed it as NSA. Sorry
In conclusion, I say *"May be it was true, not anymore. Time has
changed"*.
