NIST, in recognition of these facts, has announced a "Cooperative Research and Development" plan (called CRADA-- the "A" might stand for agreement). This would allow members of industry and academia to join together with NIST and the NSA to try and discover a good, software based, Key Escrow scheme. Ray Bonner, deputy director of NIST, discussed the plan and said that he wasn't sure that it would lead to anything but that it was worth a try. He also said that we should keep a copy of the Federal Register containing the announcement (Vol 58, #162, Tues, Aug 24 1993, pg 44662) because it could be the only CRADA ever involving the NSA. It could become a collectors item.
Where could one find an ASCII copy of the pertinent portion of the Federal Register (specifically, Vol. 58, #162, Tues., Aug 24 1993, pg 44662) that includes this "CRADA"? If anyone manages to obtain a copy, please let us (me) know. _____________________________________________________________________________ Paul Ferguson Mindbank Consulting Group fergp@sytex.com Fairfax, Virginia USA ferguson@icp.net
You can get large parts of the Federal Register online on the Internet from gopher.internet.com, using the gopher protocol. Unfortunately, the people who run the service claim to not permit republication. I tried to sign up as their real customer, but this bogosity got in the way. Why pay money to these people for access to public domain info that you then can't use? Here is as much as you can get without being a subscriber: <ARTICLE> Date="08/24/93" Citation="58 FR 44662" Group="NONE" Type="NOTICE" Department="DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE" Agency="NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY (NIST), COMMERCE" Subject="Opportunity To Join a Cooperative Research and Development Consortium To Develop Secure Software Encryption With Integrated Cryptographic Key Escrowing Techniques" <HEADER> ------------------------------------------------------------ National Institute of Standards and Technology [Docket No. 930789-3189] Opportunity To Join a Cooperative Research and Development Consortium To Develop Secure Software Encryption With Integrated Cryptographic Key Escrowing Techniques AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Commerce.

The program will be undertaken within the scope and confines of The Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 3710a), which provides federal laboratories including NIST, with the authority to enter into cooperative research agreements with qualified parties.
