BSDI To Share "SYN-Flooding" Protection Software This code is freely available via BSDI's Web and FTP sites at www.bsdi.com and ftp.bsdi.com. TIS will license its encryption key recovery technology to Atalla The agreement comes on the heels of two other recent developments: a new Administration policy regarding export controls on strong encryption, and TIS and Atalla's participation in a new computer industry alliance to promote adoption of a worldwide standard for encryption key recovery. RecoverKey supports the Administration's new policy by allowing emergency recovery of an encrypted message or file. This technology, patented by TIS and first approved by the U.S. government for export in January 1996, is fundamental to approaches now being considered as the basis for a new global standard.

High-Tech Leaders Join Forces to Enable International Strong Encryption
The "International Strong Encryption" phrase is something that we need to become active in stopping. Anything which responds to such announcements should put a different spin on this phrase. If the Clipper farce is accepted as "strong" encryption then the battle is lost; maybe something like "it is _international_ strong encryption because it is the strongest encryption people like Saddam Hussein [insert bogeyman du jour] want Americans to have access to" jim
