"Encryption confusion"

Reminded of the secret Clipper algorithm, I sought details from IBM. I asked a spokeswoman why the company hadn't just put out a nice, snappy white paper explaining its new approach to key recovery. "We spent three months trying to do that, quite literally," the spokeswoman said. "It's pretty confusing stuff, and whenever we get it on paper, we aren't happy with it."

That's interesting...whenever they get it on paper, _we_ aren't happy with it either! Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
