I also remember a few weeks ago reports in the press and on the List of a porn ring broken up and some agent involved saying that the some porn was encrypted in an old KGB program which sounded much like GOST.

I saw this report also, and took it to be a standard journalistic garble. It seems more likely to me that the package used by the child porn types was Kremlin, which produces .kgb files. -- Jim Gillogly Trewesday, 23 Blotmath S.R. 1998, 01:09 12.19.5.12.6, 11 Cimi 19 Zac, Third Lord of Night
