Hopefully it isn't old knowledge yet. Crypto Chip Debuts National Semiconductor has released the iPower encryption chip, which was designed for use in PCMCIA cards and provides a reange of security features. The chip can encrypt data via multiple enryption algorithms, and will self-destruct upon any tampering attempt, using a self-contained chemical. Cards that use the iPower chip can also provide additional functions such as tracking user access times. The iPower division is based in Santa Clara, CA. 408/721-8797. --Mark -- -- Mark Hudson is mocten@netcom.com (or vice versa) Mr. Congealiality--a suppository of knowledge. This has been a blipvert.
