So, the shills got together to tell the public that it was a mistake to keep it
secret is that the back door is... well, not a back door. It's just a bunch of

What a bunch of nonsense. Another press orgy courtesy of Microsoft & Partner
Group.

Dual_EC_DRBG Added to Windows Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has added the random-number generator Dual_EC-DRBG to Windows
| Vista, as part of SP1. Yes, this is the same RNG that could have an NSA
| backdoor.

| It's not enabled by default, and my advice is to never enable it. Ever.
