the NSA created and promulgated a flawed formula for generating random numbers to create a back door in encryption products, the New York Times reported in September. Reuters later reported that RSA became the most important distributor of that formula by rolling it into a software tool called Bsafe that is used to enhance security in personal computers and many other products.

RSA, despite its august founder, has fallen far, and is now part of the pseudo-security industrial complex, together with all the antivirus companies. first they get 0wned by the chinese and now, for balance, the nsa. unfortunately, unless you know what you’re doing (ie almost no one), you are kind of screwed. sorry.
