After finishing the Cousera crypto course, I did a quick review of their approach and found 2 issues which completely broke their authentication protocol (https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/2239 & https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/2916).

Which they seemed to fix pretty quickly, mainly by migrating to keyczar.

Which is one of the reasons I like them as much as I do. I can watch the iterations, they work hard on their product are committed to open source, and release regularly and often.

The other big win for me is I can read their code, I understand python & have a number of items I'll be able to contribute to upstream that will help others use the product.
