Not conspiracy theory but operational security for government or industry. Let's go back to enigma. Admiral Dornitz suspected enigma had been compromised. Consequently he ordered a 5th rotor added to the machine. Wolf pack crypto once again could not be read by allied intelligence. That was until the USN captured a second unit off the U-boat they brought to the surface. (The first you'll recall was captured by the Royal Navy off Iceland). The fifth rotor went to Fletchly Park and in short order German crypto could be deciphered and read again. It doesn't take capturing a U-boat to get SFOR software. However, it does take a potential adversary's time effort and money to find out how to defeat it. Why give them the lead time to do so? Keep your cyber security software close hold until mandatory public release of that information with the new FY?
