I believe we will see a rise in credibility of foreign (for Americans) standard bodies. It could be Germany (would it be BSI?) or other country. I know for example Redhat had been getting their Common Criteria cert (needed to easier sell their systems to some government agencies) from Germany's BSI, but it was because of red tape not credibility.
I believe similar things will happen with other standards, products and services related to security. It will be beneficial to advertise that it was some other rather agencies that certified the product/stand besides NIST. Or that somehow this service or product is better because we know NSA didn't stick its fingers in the pie. Kind of a negative advertisement. A real shame. This will hurt American companies (including jobs, taxes) quite a bit.
