Re: You'd think this would get government funding..
A bigger benefit would come from persuading government agencies to actually use encryption. The number of breaches that came from unencrypted data being passed around far outweigh those caused by someone exploiting bugs in encryption software.
Also (black helicopter alert!), why would the government want us plebs to have strong encryption?

Brian Krebs criticises PayPal’s security as authentication flaws exposed
Worse for us
As far as I can figure out, Paypal's 2FA offering for the UK is a code sent by SMS. If you don't have your phone to hand, or can't be arsed to look at it, you can bypass the whole process by answering two security questions. It's always the same two questions. So, one person peering over your shoulder, a keylogger or just someone who's able to do some basic research to find your mum's maiden name and your 2FA becomes sweet FA.
