Hello!
Various governments around the world - including the US and EU - want
to have backdoors in encryption technology.
Is there anything known how FOSS developers will deal with that?
Especially if they are enforced to implement backdoors.
Is there a backdoor to HMAC?
To the "algorithm" -- likely no.
In a given implementation of said algorithm in some library code -- now that
is possible. How likely is unknown. Just note the "xz" backdoor that
made the rounds a few weeks back.
