Security by obscurity?  Please tell us you're joking...this has to be one of
the most ignorant comments I've seen on Usenet in a good long while.

If you have access to the source code, you can verify that (1) secure
algorithms are in use and (2) those algorithms have been properly translated
into secure code that works.  Without source code, you're potentially buying
a pig in a poke.
