Interesting that Juniper merely claims that putting in a backdoor or working with others to do the same is against their policy. They seem to be avoiding saying a very simple, clear statement: "We never have and never will intentionally compromise the security of or put backdoors into our products, whether for ourselves or on behalf of a third party". That they can't come out and say that makes their claims suspect.
- jlgaddis 11y agoFrom TFA: > "As we’ve stated previously … it is against established Juniper policy to intentionally include ‘backdoors’ that would potentially compromise our products or put our customers at risk. Moreover, it is Juniper policy not to work with others to introduce vulnerabilities into our products.” -- Juniper
- biot 11y agoThat's the point I'm making, only I didn't bother to quote that exact paragraph myself. What you've quoted states only that their policy is against it; Juniper makes no claims that they've never violated their policy. It's like the NSA stating that collecting information on Americans is against their policy. I'm sure you can appreciate that there may be differences between policy and practice.
