I'm still waiting for a briefing from Dorothy Denning, Dave Maher, and the rest of the Clipper Chip review team on their findings and a final report :-) They released a preliminary report, saying that SkipJack was strong, and never did release a final report analyzing Clipper itself - the Clipper protocols, the chip itself, the master key loading system, or the master key handling procedures (or if they did issue a final report, they didn't advertise it widely...)
