I'm sorry, but I'm still violently opposed to the IETF endorsing backdooring of security protocols.
I find myself in violent agreement with Martin, and many others in the IETF.
The last major backdoored encryption protocol I can remember came from the National Security Agency. After a few years of examination, serious flaws were found in the backdoor mechanism which would allow attackers to open the backdoors and read the plaintext. When the best in the business can't get these protocols right, I don't think we can either.
