@eliotlear Your quote is fabricated. I said he (and others, including me) expressed concerns. Instead of answering, the NSA AD filed WG-creation forms as if discussion had settled. As for your "no industry or government participant" strawman: I'm talking specifically about NSA. That's an organization that internally asked whether cryptographic standards could be made "weak enough" for NSA to break, and that at last report had a cryptographic sabotage budget of a quarter billion dollars a year.
