The author sounds like a nice guy/gal but they seem to have selectively forgot several facts. First the NSA's Dual_EC_DRBG was used as the default in some RSA products. Is it debatable that the RSA was not paid for this (the $10m claim)? But this is not the only episode quoted as reason to consider NSA malice. The Bullrun program? And his/her employers constant lies? If your employer is using your work for malice without telling you, and lying to many of their clients (the public)... stop kidding yourself just because they were nice to you and paid for your PhD.
