Like, the only reason to develop your own tools without homebrew crypto is e=ther because you're so paranoid about Americans that you think everything i= backdoored (read: you're dumb) or it's "deception".. In the sense that you release the tools as a decoy and possibly as a malware=tool to infect people who want to look into sources&methods of your organiz=tion. At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is to adopt the tools every=ne else uses and that are realistically not backdoored (eg: red phone) so y=u blend with the crowd. Am I missing anything?
