The relationship between MIT and the NSA and the Military isn't very far under the table. The spooks funded MIT's RSA development, and they are not noted for funding projects for the good of the common man. To suggest that they would fund a form of cryptography that didn't have their own back-door for sounds implausible.
Well the source code is available for PGP & the RSA library. Can you document where in the code there is a back door for the government? If you can show what part of the code gives you concerns I am sure everyone on the list would be eager to listen otherwise this is just more FUD. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
