> The NSA can't make another federal agency improve its computer security. Maybe not directly. But the NSA could play a much more positive role in information security generally by moving out of the shadows and making more of its research public. The expertise that the NSA has acquired in securing information needs to be widely disseminated to work its way into engineering curricula and praxis, and that won't happen as long as the NSA communicates by whispering.
