Okay, here's an authority I can get behind on this debate, not being familiar enough myself to parse most of the criticisms for their veracity. I don't always agree with your political or economic take on a subject, but I've never seen anything but excellence in your technical breakdowns of a subject, especially cryptography (go figure ;).

80% of the RSA implementations on the Internet are insecure because they use the default padding

So, now that I've hopefully buttered you up enough, I'm hoping you have a reference to share, because if that's true, it's pretty damn scary.
