Dated information but was this in fact true?

|

No.

Just to confirm. No.

A quick search of 'openbsd fbi backdoor' loads of great articles. I remeber at the time this rumor kicked off how much drama it seemed to brew up....

Slightly offtopic, but given the "recently" published vulnerabilities of WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup), and associated tools such as reaver (http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps), I've been relying more or less completly on IPsec/authpf for my home wireless network. Yes, its a crap AP with no way to disable WPS.
Anyway! I'm guessing that unless you have three-lettered government agencys snooping around on your network, even a backdoor'ed IPsec will provide more security than wpa2-psk's for the average network (with WPS) at the moment since there are no known published weaknesses. |

I have one AP that is only WEP capable, on which I use IPSec. I used to use AuthPF but no longer need it.
Also OT: If you're interested in learning more about these things ... this class has been interesting. Week 1's homework includes real cryptanalysis -- we are breaking a stream cipher that is using an excellent random number generator .. but which was deployed with a simple, small error in implementation. |

Yea, was just about to start on the week #2 lectures!
