I was recently speaking with a newly-made aquaintence, and we were discussing the merits of various encryption systems. Now, I had heard about all the people who claimed the reason versions later than 2.3 wouldn't work with 2.3 was because of a backdoor for the government. I personally thought they were being paranoid. However, this guy tells me that he met Phil at defcon and phil told him that he co-operated with the government and gave them information that would enable them to crack key's for versions later than 2.3. I don't know whether to believe him or not, as I said earlier he is not a long-time friend or anything, so he could just be lying to me. If anyone has any information on this I would appreciate it. --- "Man did not enter into society to become worse than he was before, nor to have fewer rights than he had before, but to have those rights better secured." --- Thomas Paine 1791
