I think the best thing to do, trust none of them until proven secure. |

Let people test them, try to hack into them and do other things to see |
| 21 |
if there is a backdoor or not. The same with encryption. One can say |
| 22 |
it is secure but until it is tested very hard for a significant amount |
| 23 |
of time, one never knows if it is or not. Some security problems/holes |
| 24 |
don't show up for years. |
