I secured a 30 page data sheet for the new NTT (actually NLC, a subsidiary of NTT) RSA accelerator chips. The NLC0048 LSI chip can handle keys up to 1024 bits. The secret key can be stored on-chip. If you want a copy of the data sheet, email me your fax number.

Furthermore, I have *one* sample chip that I am willing to loan to somebody in the SF Bay Area with sufficient hardware knowledge to put the chip to good use. If you think you qualify, let me know who you are and why you think that you should get the chip. I apologize in advance to the qualified candidates that do not get the chip. There is only one (that I can loan out).

I don't want the chip, but I'd like to know a few things. 1. How much of a secure telephone does it contain? a. voice A/D/A? b. modem A/D/A DSP? c. Keyboard multiplex? d. control microprocessor? e. Encryption section? 2. Is there any indication that NT+T has worked with any other manufacturers to design some sort of inter-telephone negotiation standard, one that would allow the kind of inter-compatibility that modems have today?
