Things like DUAL_EC_DRBG seem to prove this claim false.
- bo1024 9y agoI guess if you set the bar for what you want to accomplish at barely above "nobody is allowed to encrypt anything, ever." Nobody would knowingly use such a scheme. It's also a security hole giving access to anyone with the key, which is sure to be leaked/compromised if shared with the entire DOJ and others. Also, once the key is compromised, everything in the past that was ever encrypted is now readable by anyone.

Actually, most people would use it because most people just don't care that much. >which is sure to be leaked/compromised if shared with the entire DOJ and others But this is a policy issue, not an issue with the idea of backdoored encryption. There are policies that could reduce the probability of leak to negligible levels (e.g. a secure NSA facility does all the decryption). Not to mention that only the NSA will be in a position to decrypt your communications from 5 years ago. No one else is storing such a vast quantity of data.
