I posted about the NSA being human on ISCA. This was a response I got from Milamber. I have a close relative who is a cryptologist for the NSA. He knows much about skipjack. he couldn't/wouldn't tell me much, of course, mainly because the last word I use to describe him is 'human'... he's more 'asshole'... but he said the last thing he'd trust is skipjack/clipper... he says that the CIA/FBI/NSA/ATF will almost assuradly _NOT_ violate the escrow rules (in other words, they _will_ get a warrant for the key halves_) however, he also said that there are so many back doors that they don't need them. He also said that they are expecting people to find about 60% of these doors, and they will correct them when found (so they have a deck of aces up thier sleves) Damn people. However, he wasn't directly involved in the clipper shit, but he does have high clearance. But he's an asshole, like I said. NSA people, as a generalization, usually are. He'd turn _me_ in if he knew I hacked. Entropy. Artimage.-
