Does this mean RSA denies accepting $10M for making the NSA RNG the default
in BSAFE? You did not say so in your post. So now RSA "categorically
denies" entering into a secret contract with the NSA. If it wasn't secret,
why didn't I hear about it? I'm pretty sure it would have made the geek
news, and I may not be a crypto expert, but I follow geek news (slashdot
would have burned RSA alive).
I think I get that RSA employees have been duped by the NSA. It's the
NSA's job after all, and they have smart people, apparently smarter than
many RSA employees. I don't get any sense that RSA might have made any
mistakes from your post. Your post seems like something a corporate lawyer
wrote. I hate that, and I have good personal reasons for it.
