Keep in mind that this is a closed system though. In particular the
encryption and authentication mechanisms are closed and so by definition
are untrusted and untrustworthy. They say they are using AES and that's
well and good, but since there's no peer review or open audit ability
there's no guarantee that they haven't backdoored or crippled or
otherwise botched it either deliberately or by accident or just sheer
incompetence. =20

Though of course this may be moot depending on, well, whether it matters
or not to whoever's using it.=20
