For example, crypto is entirely based on one group doing something which another group cannot undo with any realistic set of resources. Yes, crypto can be poorly implemented (which is a big argument in favour of open source) but it can also be extremely secure if done right. Is it done right in Skype? I don't know, but to date I know of no evidence to suggest it has problems. I'd be interested to hear if you have any. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
