Running an algorithm chosen by an attacker with extensive resources is foolhardy, because you can never be certain that your resources are sufficient to detect a trap carefully hidden by their resources. We have a history of the NSA performing attacks and standards subversion. Why accept their potential trojan horse when you can have algorithms designed by those without that checkered past, keep up the same amount of scrutiny for potential trojan horses, and have decreased odds of a backdoor being present if the provider is more trustworthy? It seems that taking motivations into account could lead you into a false sense of security, but that if you keep up the same amount of security and distrust known bad actors that you increase it. |
