I don't think even the NSA could be 100% sure that the knowledge of breaking
AES would stay inside the company walls, if it existed. I am told that the
security of the banking system of USA rests on the safety of AES. That
proves that there is a lot of economical values involved. So the only
conclusion I am able to draw is that there cannot be any practically usefull
information inside NSA about how to break AES.
