So... the official statement from Qt is that elliptic curves is a ...
"safe" encryption to be used in the wild...?
(still remember in college how I was thought that this is a safe encryption
because the NSA developed it... and it is fast...)
If this was not clear:
I think that Thiago meant to say: "yea, I know this sux, and we are looking
for someone to give us a patch and remove that MIM code".
I might be wrong.
