Do we know how the report was acquired? It says "2/18/98 NSA, X3" I think X9 is a standards committee for banks, cf. NSA's comments re adoption of 3DES; is X3 as well? Is that where this came out? Or was it through a FOIA request or a leak?
I believe it was made public by the NSA. Bruce ********************************************************************** Bruce Schneier, President, Counterpane Systems Phone: 612-823-1098 101 E Minnehaha Parkway, Minneapolis,MN 55419 Fax: 612-823-1590 http://www.counterpane.com
