Scary thought that. Lately you hear so many stories of codes for security being cracked. Governments spend millions for one company to develop a waterproof encryption technique. And during that process they do everything possible not to let the competition know what they're doing. Which at the same time means that they generally only find out about weaknesses when it gets introduced on the market, because of the lack of testing by independent actors.
Open source is the future for such things and I hope governments and financial institutions are starting to realize that.
