@bascule What about AES-NI? It's closed & trusted by OpenSSL, dm-crypt, Linux & proprietary OSes.

@sweis we want AES-NI to be awesome, but how do we know it's not buggy in some way? -
@bascule You don't know if AESNI is buggy. But if you don't trust it, how do you trust execution on that processor? -
@sweis that's a good question. For that matter, how do I know that all hardware that has access to main memory isn't compromised? ;)

@bascule but Kerckhoffs' principle states security shouldn't be based on the key but on algorithm. If it's open, isn't the cause defeated? -
@Yaasky Kerckhoffs' principle states the only part of the system that should have to be a secret is the key -
@bascule ah yes, thanks for the correction. I had it swapped.
