The NSA is not going to tip its hand about any backdoors it had built into the hardware for something as small as this.
- ddtaylor 9mo agoIt depends on if parallel reconstruction can be used to provide deniability.
- chuckadams 9mo agoEven a parallel construction has limited uses, since you can't use the same excuse every time. The NSA probably doesn't trust the FBI to come up with something plausible.
- ddtaylor 9mo agoThat depends on how apathetic people are. Most of the time they will accept a completely garbage story and you can create infinitely many of those.
- chuckadams 9mo agoSure, and that’s why juries buy the same line from cops every time, but major actors actually affected by potential backdoors are likely to be a bit more skeptical and start digging around for the real reasons.
