Carl Ellison, in discussing weak systems which can be broken by the NSA but not Joe Mobster, misses the point. Many of us are worried not about Joe Mobster, but about Mitsubishi, or the Government of France, or a Russian competitor with friends in their equivalent of the NSA. Thus cryptosystems used by Americans in international business need to be robust against other well-endowed and technically skilled organizations, not the NSA. I, too, trust the NSA, but they're not the threat to many of us. -- David Sternlight
