Rewrite Introduces Java Crypto Bug

It’s very interesting to hear that there were likely no cryptographers involved in writing some pretty sensitive cryptographic code. This is a subtle bug if you don’t know crypto (like me) but also the fact that they didn’t run standard test cases against the library is also concerning. Anyways I guess the takeaway here is “don’t use Java” (perennial advice)
