So, what does he use for UNIX password encryption; MD5 (Ron Rivest, USA)
or Blowfish (Bruce Schneier, USA)?  For PGP hashes?

It's a little difficult to completely avoid US products in the

Source, can't hide anything", I'll save time and summarize my rebuttal
now; DES, Differential Cryptanalysis, NSA, 20 years.
