To people with some infosec knowledge, the poor choice of word "backdoor" sounds as if that the article is about importing an asymmetric backdoor to RSA encryption, which is not the case. If the author wants to have a casual style of writing, I think "loophole" could be used.
- throwawaymath 8y agoAgreed. "Loophole" would have been a particularly better choice of terminology. RSA has never had a "back door" in the sense of, e.g., DUAL_EC_DRBG.
- dang 8y agoOk, we've put a loophole in the title above.
