While I'd love to meet a hacker who could successfully break into the NSA's
website to install a Trojan (;-), Oliver does bring up a good point. As
SELinux gains a wider audience it would be reasonable to anticipate the
distro eventually getting mirrored at other sites. Since the use of digital
signatures as an integrity-check is now commonplace within the Linux
community, would it be reasonable to start posting signatures on the NSA
website?
