> The NSA

Seriously? As soon as the NSA certifies a piece of code it'll be dropped like a hot potato by everyone outside of the US, and probably by a large percentage of the people inside it.

If such a body exists, which seems like a reasonable idea, it has to be nongovernmental and not controlled by large corporations either.

This doesn’t make sense. The NSA has certified lots of crypto protocols that we use.

These days it seems those protocols are used in spite of NSA involvement. See what happened with Speck in the Linux kernel. https://lwn.net/Articles/761992/

And if you has to be Russian or China government certified, all this protocols are out of question.
