Bill Payne has provided his 1992 Sandia report: "Data Authenticator for the Deployable Seismic Verification System" Marked "For Official Use Only." The 185-page paper describes in fine detail the design, data security and fabrication (with photos and technical drawings) of the third generation authentification device for verfiying seismic data in connection with the nuclear weapons control-START treaties with the USSR. The paper also cites deficient cryptographic algorithms provided by NSA for the device. http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm (98K)
