A welcome inquiry, Tim.
Is it not likely that the best crypto in many of the
countries is kept off the market in the national interest,
cloaked in the greatest secrecy like other crucial weapons
of survival? Especially to defend it from NSA-like
predators.
Was this not the practice in the US before public key genie
escaped?
And is surely still the case for the very best US crypto --
not that which can be readily purchased or purloined.
The market, and PGP, are probably condoned as a cloak for
the best, in the US and elsewhere. Or bait. Or traps.
