Actually, on second thoughts - yes, you are right. This could work - partially. But the other way around. Mozilla could build the blobs, sign them and then send them to Cisco who would then provide the download infrastructure.

It still won't allow a third party to verify the same and would require everyone to trust Mozilla itself. Its less problematic than having to trust Cisco, but far from ideal.

On that note: do you know if the blob download would be wrapped in a Cisco EULA?



We can't build blobs without taking the MPEG LA license.

Blobs can be verified against the open source. See https://madiba.encs.concordia.ca/~x_decarn/truecrypt-binarie.... More on this in a future blog post.
