“The report surfaced in e-mail made public yesterday from a former government contractor, who alleged that he worked with the FBI to implement ‘a number of back doors’ in OpenBSD, which has a reputation for high security and is used in some commercial products. He said the project was a ‘circa 1999 joint research and development project between the FBI and the NSA,’ which is part of the Defense Department. The OpenBSD project, which was once funded by DARPA but had its funding yanked in 2003 for unspecified reasons, says that it takes an ‘uncompromising view toward increased security.'”
