This makes me wonder how ethical it is for the NSA to be so heavily involved in cryptography internationally. Are they building a backdoor into these crytographic systems? If so, how ethical could that be?
Embeddable cryptographic processors are enabling a host of new defense communications applications, such as smartphones and tablet computers for tactical use on the front lines, but should soldiers be using the same object for both secure and insecure communications? Or does this create a conflict of interests?
Interesting article that shows how even though we think we're very advanced at cryptography, sometimes an old and outdated technique slips through the cracks in our defenses.
I think it's pretty interesting that one of the world's largest internet corporations is going to find the security vulnerabilities of our modems and routers. Will they just be helping us fix them, or using the errors for their own gain?
