I assume 'rouge' is a typo - Matt's paper was talking about rogue units, rather than Commies or makeup-artists :-) One weakness in the weakness is that most Clippersystems appear to be designed to use the same session key in each direction, so both ends have to be privacy-protected versions to prevent wiretapping, since a non-rogue LEAF from either end will give away the key. But it's a good start, and ought to be exploited for all the political mileage we can get out of it.... and it's not surprising that security in a conversation is everybody's job... Bill
