"NAI officially withdrew from the Key Recovery Alliance in late 1997. In May of 1998, NAI acquired Trusted Information Systems, which had been an active member of the KRA. NAI subsequently reliquished the leadership role TIS had taken in the organization. NAI Labs' TIS Advanced Research Division continues to monitor the KRA's activities from a technical perspective, but Network Associates in no way advocates mandatory key recovery." - Cabe Franklin (NAI PR) 415-975-2223
TIS supports export controls on encryption products.
