IMO, there are a lot of people paranoid over cryptography lately with the apparent NSA backdoors, and this isn't helping the hype at all. They should have just let it disappear quietly

Any closed source encryption algo can be assumed to be junk now that the NSA has admitted messing them up on purpose.
Also, encryption using the cloud, Windows, or Mac can also be assumed to be worthless given the NSA has admitted messing with the keys in said systems.

Opensource is the only (potentially)safe thing in 2013.

Think the NSA is the only one who can use the backdoors???
Good luck with that.

Think that ANY of your data is safe from ANYONE nowadays ? Funny how a lot of people I know complain about the NSA, yet you can use their public profile on linkedin and facebook to re-create their CV and life-story
