    Aggrajag and Mortimer.CA, among others, wrote to inform us that Theo deRaadt has made public an email sent to him by Gregory Perry, who workedon the OpenBSD crypto framework a decade ago. The claim is that the[0]FBI paid contractors to insert backdoors into OpenBSD's IPSEC stack.Mr. Perry is coming forward now that his NDA with the FBI has expired.The code was originally added ten years ago, and over that time haschanged quite a bit, "so it is unclear what the true impact of theseallegations are" says Mr. de Raadt. He added: "Since we had the firstIPSEC stack available for free, large parts of the code are now found inmany other projects/products." (Freeswan and Openswan are [1]not based onthis code.)
