I Not everyone ;-) My bank had no problem with this, my hospital uses standard papers... I am talking about encryption and the F/OSS in general and i have my privacy in the mind. Here exists a lot of people int today world, which tell, that they have nothing to hide. But i don't want to share my privacy with others. I want, that my small home server to remain my (administration) and when i encrypt something, i want to nobody smile from me (and my public secrets). And i am talking about my fears from near future... I expect, that critical applications (openssl, gpg, ssh, gnutls, etc) will not contain these mistakes, and if something similar happens again (because yes - mistakes happens), then discovering these mistakes will not take years, but days or weeks... I cannot contribute. I am not a crypto expert, nor the C expert (nor any other language). I am regular user (perhaps more than regular, but in software usage), i have no spare money to sponsor them. I can (and i do it) contribute on another parts (translating, package management, etc), but i cannot help with code or code reviews. Is it a my mistake, that i cannot help with this? Am i expecting a lot? Need i switch to proprietary software (yes, i know, that is no solution)? And there is one crucial question. There was debian's patches, gnutls mistakes, gnupg mistakes in last years. Now there was a openssl problem. The crucial question is: What will be next? What need to happen, in order to things changes? I am sorry, that i am sharing my frustration... regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
