There is a smoking gun on one of random number generators.
There is strong circumstantial evidence, reason for suspicion, on
suggested Suite B.
AES and SHA look to be fine, but using them gives the appearance to end
users that you might be playing footsie with NIST. Cryptographer Jon
Callas has therefore made Twofish and Skein the default for silent circle.
I recommend that everyone follow Jon Callas on symmetric cryptography,
and DJ Bernstein on asymmetric cryptography. The best people are
putting as much distance as possible between themselves and NIST.
Oh, and about tinfoil hats:
There really is a great big government conspiracy, and they really are
out to get you. Tinfoil hats may not be effectual, but Bernstein's
curve25519 will help.
