No but this doesn't do anything to "deal" with the problem as anyone can built up trust like Jian tan showed. The argument that this makes us more secure is like saying closed source is more secure cause the hackers dont have access to the source.

We have evidence of the US messing with nist standards so by that same logic should we assume all us actors are bad ?

The solution is to verify the code maybe have multiple people from different locations have to review stuff. Build more checks into the process.

The whole point of it being open is that it can be reviewed. It shouldn't matter where the contributor is from as all code should be subjected to a rigorous review process.

What... You realize that NIST is literally a government agency? It's part of the United States Department of Commerce. It's literally the US government. Are you saying that the government is messing with itself? What does that even mean?

What's so strange about that? It's not like the government - any government - is just one person. Of course some people in government can mess with other people in government. Even people in the same office mess with each other. Intra-office politics, and so on.
