Re: Comey = Traitor or Idiot
The real issue is whether there are implementation flaws or back doors (which act like implementation flaws). Adding a known backdoor is just painting a bullseye on the code telling hackers come look for the backdoor. Whether they find the backdoor they are certain to find some flaws they can abuse.
No cryptographic systems is truly unbreakable even if takes millennia with current hardware. The fact that older systems once touted as effectively unbreakable now can be seccomb to brute force attack means there is ongoing arms race between the systems and the hackers.
