jgon, maybe you're also reading this on a mobile client.

tptacek's first side note on the right column is that his opinion is that DUAL_EC_DRBG is an NSA backdoor. Far from burying the most important part of the scandal, he puts it front and center. This discussion is about other proposed extensions to TLS, not DUAL_EC_DRBG.

It might be too late, but I recommend you edit your comment to change "Extended Random" to DUAL_EC_DRBG (the random number generator). Extended Random is an extension proposed by the NSA (Clyde Frog).
