J.Menn’s philosophical counterpart dating from 2013... An excellent article to read, especially to better understand the reason why 'NSA secret leaks' & how 'RSA' was misled by government officials who portrayed its formula as a 'sure technological advance'.

"In June 2013, Edward Snowden began leaking NSA documents. In November 2013, RSA switched the default to 'HMAC DRBG' with SHA-256 as the default option. The following month, Reuters published the report based on the Snowden leaks stating that RSA had received a payment of $10 million to set Dual_EC_DRBG as the default".
