MITCHELL Mercury News Staff Writer TriStrata Security Inc. of Redwood Shores isn't your usual Internet start-up. Its chief executive recently gave up the reins of a $2 billion subsidiary to run it. The company's founder and chairman is the man who invented the personal identification number (PIN). America's largest accounting firm is already endorsing it. And its promise lured some of the best-connected executives onto its board. Three months ago, Paul Wahl was running German software maker SAP AG's U.S. operations, which has 5,000 employees and first-half 1998 sales of nearly $1 billion. Last week he became chief executive of TriStrata, a 35-person start-up that makes Internet security software. The reason for Wahl's sudden career change and move from Philadelphia is a tremendous opportunity . . .to make Internet history by changing the way the world keeps information secure on the Internet, says Wahl, 46. That same dream brought John Atalla out of retirement in 1993 to form TriStrata. Atalla, now 74, decades ago created the PIN system and the security used today in 80 percent of the world's automatic-teller machines. He was enjoying the beaches of the world when friends in the banking industry asked him to work on the problem of Internet security. Both men believe TriStrata's software -- which works efficiently with voice and video as well as with data -- will revolutionize electronic commerce, enabling companies to create virtual private networks and permitting, for example, the secure and inexpensive sale of software, music and videos over the Internet. Some outside observers agree. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which is the largest of the Big Five accounting firms and has 2,200 employees devoted to Internet security, believes this could be the de facto standard for encryption technology, says Jim Coriston, a PWC managing partner. TriStrata software is being implemented throughout the firm, which is also offering the product to its clients. It's a whole different approach to cryptography, says Larry Dietz, director of information security and legal strategies for Current Analysis, a market research firm. Its key principles make a lot of sense. But some critics question whether TriStrata's product is as secure as the company claims. And the company faces tough competition from established security companies such as Network Associates Inc. of Santa Clara and Secure Computing Corp. of San Jose, as well as from computer vendors like IBM and Hewlett-Packard Co., which include security in their products. Atalla rejected the traditional approach for enterprise security using public key encryption, a system that uses two keys, both controlled by the user: a private key, which must be kept secret, and a public key, which can be freely distributed. Such systems can be broken, have performance limitations and have restrictions on the strength of the key that can be exported. Instead, he turned to the one-time pad approach invented in 1917 by Gilbert Vernam. It uses randomly generated numbers that are never replicated in the exact same sequence. The one-time pad is theoretically unbreakable, cryptographers agree. But it hasn't been useful because it requires so much computing and telecommunications power. Atalla decided that the great advances in computer memory and processing technology and today's powerful and relatively inexpensive communications capability made the Vernam cipher practical, and he built his security system around it. As a result, each encrypted document has a different code. The system is so fast, so inexpensive and provides such a good audit trail that it will lead companies to make encrypted transmissions the rule instead of the exception, Atalla and Wahl say. The federal government, including the National Security Agency and the FBI, has cleared it for export because the system allows access to specific documents for which an appropriate court order has been issued. The company expects the product to be received warmly overseas, since the U.S. government cannot decode information at will. But it's unclear whether this feature will diminish foreign concerns about U.S. security products. Skeptics wonder whether the company has created a sufficiently large string of random numbers to approximate randomness, Dietz says. And TriStrata's approach is so different it won't be an easy sell. It requires companies to transform their security systems, a decision likely to be made by the chief executive and chief information officers, Dietz says, not the people who normally purchase security software. Here the many contacts of Atalla, Wahl and TriStrata's directors should prove useful. Atalla is well known in the high-tech community. At Bell Laboratories his research resulted in his patents for the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS), a key component of modern electronic devices. Then he co-founded Hewlett-Packard Associates and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories and directed the company's solid-state division. He founded Atalla Corp. in 1973 and sold it to Tandem Computers Inc. in 1987. Atalla was able to attract to TriStrata a star-studded board that includes John Young, former chief executive of HP; Tom Perkins, partner in the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; and William Zuendt, retired president of Wells Fargo & Co. and former chairman of MasterCard. The company released its first product last November. As it prepared to move from R&D to large-scale sales, it added as a director David Beirne, a general partner of venture capital firm Benchmark Capital. Beirne, who had made his mark as one of the most successful executive recruiters before joining Benchmark last year, approached Wahl about the CEO job two months ago. Wahl, quite content at SAP, was negotiating a move back to Europe with the company when Beirne called and persuaded him to fly here to take a look at TriStrata. After a second quick visit, Wahl and his wife decided to come west. TriStrata is unlikely to become a huge employer; Wahl expects the workforce to perhaps double to 70 in the next year or two and reach 200 over five years. But it's impact on the Internet could be quite dramatic. And Wahl found that attraction irresistible. _________________________________________________________________ Write James J.

Harald will learn that Six Degrees is monitoring all thoughtcrimes. Besides, Harald apparently used Roundup in his garden, the same nerve gas precursor found at the Baby Milk and Marzipan Factory in Khartoum.

Starr's case for impeaching President Clinton is only the first public accounting in a massive ongoing investigation --contrary to White House claims that the Whitewater probe is dead. "All phases of the investigation are now nearing completion," the 445-page report says. The independent counsel "will soon make final decisions about what steps to take, if any, with respect to the other information it has gathered." While it was Mr. Starr's "strong desire" to complete the entire Whitewater inquiry before giving any information to Congress, the report said, it "became apparent" there was "substantial and credible information" of impeachable offenses and he was required under the law to refer the information to Congress as soon as possible. "It also became apparent that a delay of this referral until the evidence from all phases of the investigation had been evaluated would be unwise," the report said. Mr. Starr will soon make decisions on final reports to a three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and possible indictments, the report added. Mr. Clinton's personal attorney, David E. Kendall, attacked the Monica Lewinsky report this week as a "hit-and-run smear campaign," saying it was nothing but an attempt to damage the president with "irrelevant and unnecessary graphic and salacious allegations." He asked, "Where's Whitewater?" But the report's introduction notes that Mr. Starr's four-year Whitewater probe, all but forgotten in the crush of sordid public revelations of Mr. Clinton's sexual dalliances with the former White House intern, continues to target a number of areas: Legal representation of a failed Arkansas thrift, Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association, and a real estate project, Castle Grande, by first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Rose Law Firm partner Webster L. Hubbell, the ex-associate attorney general who resigned in disgrace. The firing of seven White House travel office employees to make room for Clinton cronies, and the role Mrs. Clinton may have played in the decision. The delivery to the White House of more than 1,000 secret FBI files on Reagan and Bush administration aides, and efforts to shield White House officials, including Mrs. Clinton, from a public accounting on how the files were obtained and used. The misuse of personnel records of Pentagon employee Linda R. Tripp, whose secret recordings of conversations with Miss Lewinsky began the grand jury investigation. Possible perjury and obstruction of justice concerning an incident involving former White House volunteer Kathleen E. Willey. Mrs. Willey said in August 1997 that Mr. Clinton made sexual advances in the Oval Office in November 1993. The Starr report to Congress said Miss Lewinsky told the president Newsweek was working on an article about Mrs. Willey. Mr. Clinton dismissed the accusations as "ludicrous, because he would never approach a small-breasted woman like Mrs. Willey." Later he asked Miss Lewinsky if she had heard about the Newsweek inquiry from Mrs. Tripp, to which she replied "yes." The former intern said Mr. Clinton asked if Mrs. Tripp could be trusted and then told her to persuade Mrs. Tripp to call White House Deputy Counsel Bruce R. Lindsey about the matter. Newsweek published the Willey story on Aug. 11, 1997. In his Jan. 17 deposition in the Paula Jones case, Mr. Clinton denied the Willey accusation. The Starr probe also is looking into accusations that efforts were made to silence Mrs. Willey. Among those drawing attention is Democratic fund-raiser Nathan Landow. Investigators want to know if he urged Mrs. Willey to deny she was groped by the president. Mrs. Willey has since testified before the Lewinsky grand jury as a cooperating witness. Mr. Landow testified before the grand jury, later telling reporters he took the Fifth Amendment. His daughter, former White House volunteer Harolyn Cardozo, who worked with Mrs. Willey, also testified. In "Travelgate" and "Filegate," papers filed earlier this month in federal court in Washington show the investigations "are continuing and in extremely sensitive stages." Deputy independent counsel Robert Bittman told the court the probes had reached to the "highest level of the federal government" and involved "issues of singular constitutional and historic importance." The Whitewater probe also is examining whether Mr. Hubbell hid his involvement and that of Mrs. Clinton with Castle Grande, a real estate project south of Little Rock, Ark. In September 1996, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Hubbell drafted legal papers that Madison used to deceive bank examiners and divert $300,000 to Mr. Hubbell's father-in-law, Seth Ward. The report said the papers "facilitated the payment of substantial commissions to Mr. Ward, who acted as a straw buyer" in Castle Grande. A straw buyer is one who owns property in name only, having never put up any money or assumed any risk. The FDIC said the Ward payments were in violation of federal regulations. The report did not accuse Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Hubbell of criminal wrongdoing, although it raised serious questions about their involvement in a deal that ultimately cost taxpayers $3.8 million when Castle Grande failed. Prosecutors, the report to Congress said, immediately recognized parallels between the job help provided to Miss Lewinsky by Washington lawyer Vernon E. Jordan Jr., a longtime Clinton friend, and "his earlier relationship" with Mr. Hubbell, sentenced in 1994 to prison for stealing $420,000 from his Rose Law Firm partners. By late 1997, Mr. Starr had evidence Mr. Jordan helped Mr. Hubbell obtain consulting contracts after he agreed to cooperate in the Whitewater probe. In 1994, Mr. Hubbell was paid $450,010 by 17 different persons or entities as a consultant and $91,750 in 1995, despite beginning a 28-month prison term in August of that year. He has yet to explain what work he did for the cash. Some of the payments came from MacAndrews & Forbes Holding Co. in New York after he was introduced to the firm's executives by Mr. Jordan, a director of Revlon Inc. The cosmetics firm, controlled by MacAndrews & Forbes, also offered a job to Miss Lewinsky based on Mr. Jordan's recommendations. With regard to Mrs. Tripp's personnel records, Mr. Starr has been investigating if they were illegally released in an effort to tarnish her reputation in the Lewinsky probe. Assistant Defense Secretary Kenneth Bacon approved the release to a reporter for the New Yorker magazine. The records show Mrs. Tripp was detained by police as a teen-ager 29 years ago and had not noted the arrest in her 1987 security clearance form. The arrest later was shown to have been a teen-age prank, in which she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of loitering. Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes was questioned about the documents by the grand jury. Mr. Bacon also testified in the case.
