      @Snowden @durumcrustulum We’re not talking about exploits. We’re talking about cryptographic backdoors.

      @tqbf Many *are* talking about all exploits without any nuance. Juniper's Dual EC point change unlikely to be NSA -- USG notified them!

          @tqbf It works like this: 1) NSA encourages credulous partners to adopt Dual-EC via NCSC (https://www.nsa.gov/business/programs/ncsc.shtml …). Some do. Some weak.

          @tqbf Vendors aren't explicitly asked to "backdoor" products. Too risky. Even NCSC unlikely to know when NSA recs poisoned. No need to know.

          @tqbf 2) When unwitting backdoor efforts fail (example, nonstandard point adoption), NSA simply moves on. Likely what happened with Juniper.

          @tqbf 3) No way to know if Juniper voluntarily shared their non-standard points with NSA (many do), but time-til- detection implies did not.

          @tqbf 4) Top-tier adversary subverts the backdoored standard (then-unusable) in ScreenOS codebase. NSA doesn't notice, bc not using.

          @Snowden @tqbf It wasn't then-unusable, unless Juniper chose the Q point safely. The software bug was already present.

          @matthew_d_green @tqbf Fair point, but I'm trying to illustrate general principles of how the backdoor-insertion process works.

          @matthew_d_green @tqbf Priority point: NSA does work w witting tech partners to insert a backdoor, but that's EXCEPTIONAL, not standard.

          @tqbf 5) CI effort or NTOC catches adversary in act of Juniper exploitation or using Dual-EC for exfil. Investigate. Discovery.

          @tqbf 6) NSA, realizing their bad standard has been subverted by the adversary, takes action to close. Notifies Juniper (likely via cutout).

          @Snowden Nuance in discussions of exploits! Why, that's heresy! Next we'll have to admit most adversaries aren't well-funded intel orgs!

          @Snowden The contention is that they’d have learned about it earlier if the JNPR documents had been provided earlier.
