An expert of the Union of German Medium-Sized IT-Enterprises warns of risks of possible backdoors in US software and hardware. See:

That backdoors in software, which are destined to secure the IT-security, e.g. those relevant to digital signatures -- in particular those that are proprietary (closed-source, blackbox), since they are by nature impossible to be verified by independent experts at all -- could be a huge potential risk, has also been strongly stressed by me already sometime ago in a thread in this forum and in a number of other Internet groups, Further I have written a number of emails on that to certain persons and authorities that apparently are responsible for the issue but unfortunately without obtaining from them to date the tiniest echo.
