Does Clinton have the right to listen in on NSA communication? If he tried he might find that they aren't using Clipper internally (or that they keys aren't in the proper escrow locations).
Of course they aren't using Clipper, at least not for anything sensitive. They know better than that. Clipper is not a secure system. Skipjack may be wonderful, but the whole setup totally lacks key security. Given their institutional paranoia, they wouldn't touch Clipper with a 1024-bit prime. Eli ebrandt@jarthur.claremont.edu
