“US government-funded contractors and US government agencies (like the National Institute of Standards & Technology) are the big pushers.

At the base of it all, however, are engineers – smart guys – who are willing to do whatever they are asked, so long as they get a paycheck. They are forging electronic chains for humanity, and passing it all off as ‘a harmless piece of software,’ or, ‘a systems design.'”
