The point is it's not a crazy risk to take when you trust the NSA, even in 2007, when everyone else knew not to use Dual EC.
I just don't see how the RSA is supposed to realize the NSA is evil before the Snowden leaks.
- ska 13y agoYou don't have to assume the NSA is evil to understand that its mandate means you can never trust their incentives in something like this. You don't have to have any bad guys to have conflicts in purpose and incentive, and this has clearly been true for the entire existence of such interactions.

I've classes in schools talking about economic/state intelligence methods. The responsibility of a big corp is to secure itself from outside threats and visible links to state agencies will be analyzed by observers.
