I don't trust my government to be competent at cryptography.
Some people don't trust their government to be non-malicious.
- smnrchrds 8y ago> I don't trust my government to be competent at cryptography. Which government is it? If it is the US, you might as well not trust any cryptographic schemes, considering how many of them were developed by NSA.
- gsich 8y agoNot the ones that "count" or should be used. Just look at the Dual_EC_DRBG desaster.
- Avamander 8y agoBut you trust your mobile operator more? Pfft.
- 3pt14159 8y ago(Presuming you live in Canada, USA, EU, etc.) I just find this type of thinking pointless. We know for certain that we're getting hacked daily with constant identity theft and rather than have the same people that we entrust with our tanks, bombs, guns, lasers, and satellites to be competent at a simple key signing / rotating physical device we're going to what, use our fingerprints with our bank? No. A physical device that everyone has is going to be torn apart by everyone. The last place they'd put something malicious would be in something that diffuse.
