Favorite line in the whole thing "Some of the fundamental security features made available (e.g. full field encryption, randomization through IVs, etc.) were disabled because we were not comfortable sharing such IP on the internet while our patents are still pending"

So, apparently they are going to be patenting padding/randomization in encryption and "full field encryption". Our patent system at work for obvious things.

Sigh. The whole supposed purpose of patents is to encourage disclosure of the invention.
