Software exists outside of USA.

I mean, I'm in Canada, friendly as it gets, and still - is NSA certifying a piece of software a good thing, from my perspective? From my company's perspective? From my Canadian sovereign government's perspective? There may be second order effects at play here.

NIST in consultations with various US public and private actors (including NSA) already determine the cryptographic algorithms that are used to run the internet. Canada is still very friendly with the US - the countries that have literally been bombed by the US - continue to use these algorithms.

Governments across the world have large gaps in their understanding of software and its relation to the world.
