new reason for clipper alg m secrecy apologies for not posting to alt clipper or whatever but it seems it may not be in the newsfeed here there may be another reason good from nsa s point of view horrible from everyone else s why the algorithm chip design might be secret first note that the experts will only look at details and of just the algorithm in addition respected experts from outside the government will be offered access to the confidential details of the algorithm to assess its capabilities and publicly report their findings why not the chip design well here s the possiblity in addition to encryption the chip pre processes voice signals to make them easier to analyze transcribe electronically the chip once widespread might effectively be part of a massively parallel computer for voice grepping the us phone network or the criminal wrong thinking patrons thereof i wouldn t put it past the nsa think how much easier it would make life for them and if this is indeed the case think of the possible public outcry should it become widely known thus the secrecy it might be a good idea to have experts in dsp voice recognition and ai conversation understanding to be on that panel and insist they be given authenticatable design specs and implementation documentation dwight tuinstra best tuinstra sandman ece clarkson edu tolerable tuinstrd craft camp clarkson edu look out kid it s something that you did god knows when but you re doin it again
