Serious question: what's the difference? I would have followed the definition for backdoor since it relies on particular secret information relating P and Q that the NSA might have—but where should one draw the line between backdoors and vulnerabilities? Intent?
- meowface 13y agoRepeating my comment: An intentionally introduced vulnerability can be considered a backdoor, even if it's not a matter of saying "open sesame" to open the so-called backdoor. So yes, it's pretty much a matter of intent.
