CLIPPER COMPROMISED? "Security Insider Report," a monthly newsletter published in Seminole, Fla., has reported that government officials are seeking to determine whether former CIA employee and alleged traitor Aldrich Ames may have sold information to the Russians about the government's secret key-escrow technology used in Clipper Chip chipsets and Capstone Tessera cards. The secret key-escrow technology, dubbed Skipjack, can be used to encrypt network voice and data.

Seminole, Fl 34642 Phone 813.393.6600 Fax 813.393.6361 The managing editor is none other than computer security professional, privacy advocate, and author of TERMINAL COMPROMISE, Winn Schwartau. Winn is a highly sought after lecturer on computer security matters, and is notorious for "Inside" contacts. It is said the NSA scoured it's ranks after TERMINAL COMPROMISE came out. T.C. was released as the first Internet novel (its in softcover as well) and should be widely available. He is supposed to be a releasing a new book soon (it may already be out) titled INFORMATION WARFARE. Having had the pleasure of meeting and talking at length with Winn, I am of the opinion that he may be on to something here.
