@alwayscurious @ska "For something to be a backdoor, you need some way to ensure that nobody else can exploit it, otherwise it is not a backdoor, but a broken algorithm"

This is semantic pedantry. The NSA DGAF about "NOBUS". They are happy just making everyone insecure as long as they can be one of the parties intercepting.

Any attempt to induce churn into crypto algorithms and implementations and displace ones that have stood the test of time protecting trillions of dollars of supposed value with things that have only been used seriously for a short while or not at all is *sabotaging* our security. Whether you want to call it a "backdoor" isn't really important. It's bad.
