Re: [tor-talk] [cryptography] The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in OpenSSL

I would categorically assume the answer to be no until the NSA starts working for the people of the United States instead of against us. Until they are completely transparent in what they do, and completely honest in their results, it is easier to assume no. The NSA does not even trust itself.
