Maybe you're not reading the same words... Nobel snobels, still has nothing to do with crypto. Thank you for arguing my original position for me.

  You did not limit your criticism to the crypto group at NIST. Your comment was about "anything" that came out of NIST. I am not sure how I argued your original position by saying that the metrology work that comes out of NIST is top notch. How did I support your claim by arguing and presenting evidence of the opposite?

    You presented my argument in argumentative manner as something different. None of this has nothing to do with NIST's reputation for evaluating crypto systems and guiding standards. So please give up trying to say how great their weighs and standards are, because again, a Nobel in physics has nothing to do with crypto.

      I just read the bit in your profile about wanting to get to zero karma in 2014. It never occurred to me I was an unwitting conspirator in your race to the bottom. Had I known this I never would have "presented [your] argument in argumentative manner."

        Ad hominem attacks and claims of moral superiority also have nothing to do with NIST allowing Dual EC DRBG to be backdoored and this entropy source being suspicious.

          I don't know why you'd accuse a source of public randomness of having a backdoor. It has a front door.
