     Maybe we can trust Linux, and !FreeSoftware? Even Linus Torvalds was approached by the gov't to install backdoors

     Confirmed! I just ran across this piece from Theodore Ts'o: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6336505 TL;DR: Intel's hardware RNG is compromised by NSA's SIGINT, but Linus Torvalds insisted it be used to generate /dev/random (via http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2013/12/how-does-nsa-break-ssl.html ) !crypto !surveillance

     …and Matt Mackall, current lead developer of !Mercurial stepped down as maintaner because Linus overrode his decision not to trust the compromised hardware RNG blindly.
