When I suggested that the paper that folks write strong passphrases on be backed by glass or metal instead of a pad of paper, they laughed. One form of "crypto" I was forced to manufacture was obviously succeptible to replay attacks if you merely leased the same model scanner/printer/copier for a week and had a pringles' can during transmission. Or rev-eng the driver. Convenience trumps security once again. Not surprising the dinosaurs largely died out, the more I see of them. Today I pointed out that their 802.11 blah gizmo was inside a Faraday cage ie a locked sheet metal cabinet. No wonder their wifi didn't work, eh? Not making this up...
