> There is no real evidence that DARPA is morally compromised by the NSA in any way. This is unlike for NIST where there is evidence of such compromise.

Wait. Can you clarify this? I know that NIST's standards were compromised by the NSA or at least there is evidence of it. However, this is not necessarily the same as being morally compromised. The story I've read is that the NIST was taken for a ride by the NSA but weren't in bed with them. Is the narrative I have incorrect?
