But open source is compromised as well, for the same reasons
and by the same parties. Some claim open source was born of and
is powned by the spies. No problema, overcoming compromises
of parentage has forever been the fundamental, albeit futile,
crypto challenge.
Even precious OTP is compromised, the "gold standard" of
industry pure-blooded progeny. No matter, cryptologists are
dogged and faithful as rutting canines. One or two mad but
considered geniuses, placed on virtual pedestals, then back
to wild-rut cheating, lying, stealing and high-selling to evildoers.
This is a thumbnail of "The Codebreakers." Come to think
of all security volumes. Ross Anderson has amusing comments
on this onanist bazaar in "Security Engineering," which, book-rich
Schneier, no slouch at unfettered self-rutting, moans 'It's beautiful.
This is the best book on the topic there is.'
