Nobody knows whether a proprietary security protocol has some 
built-in universal key, given i.e. to a security agency.
That's also why users should not rely on proprietary security 
protocols and cryptographic algorithms. AFAIK, serious companies
won't buy such software, perhaps except they are big enough to 
verify from the source code that it's safe to use. So using
open, well known standards is a selling point too, at least in
the league I'm playing.
