Seems like it's a bit of a different story, since in the Clipper's case the algorithm is (ostensibly) unknown, but I'm just curious as to whether there is some compromise of its security-through-obscurity.
Actually, in a more recent attack to be published at USENIX (if i remember correctly) the attack being performed can also be utilized to help determine unknown algorithms. I will try to dig up the reference (unless someone gets to it first). Matt
