Has there been any conformation on this?

I would like to get in touch with some of my contacts at IBM but would like to have some info on this first.

To the best of my knowledge neither CDT nor any of the individual authors has been served with any papers or received any other notice of a suit regarding the key recovery report. (Available at http://www.crypto.com/key_study)

I suspect that the last thing IBM would want to do is give this experts' report more publicity. At this point, rumors of a lawsuit appear to be unfounded.

And remember: In libel cases, truth is always a defense. :)

I figured that it was FUD but I have seen IBM do much more stupid things than this so it seemd worth the effort to follow up.
