Good security isn't based on keeping source code secret. There is plenty of the most secure encryption software that is open source. I don't really see any ethical issue in handing over the source code.

Exactly. TrueCrypt was the big open source product at the time. A great product used by many hundreds of thousands of people -- I know, because I used to track their progress.
