re off the shelf cheap des keyseach machine was re corporate acceptance of the wiretap chip i don t like the unit key generation process any better than you do however s and s are supposed to be under control of the same escrow agents if they can t be trusted to keep the seed values secure they can t be trusted to keep the half keys secure i hope there is something i don t understand about this system but can someone tell me how these chips are going to be manufactured while maintaining each half key under total control of the separate escrow agencies don t both halfs of the key have to come together in some form at the time the chip is constructed or is it built like a fusable prom with the chip being sent to the st escrow agency to program its key then the nd agency to program its key but who invents the safeguards that prevent the nd agency from reading the information already programmed by the st this isn t intended to be a flame or anything i am just really curious how to manufacture these things while still maintaining the key escrow security without simply saying trust the manufacturer they won t look domain tahorsley csd harris com usmail tom horsley uucp uunet hcx tahorsley kingbird circle delray beach fl censorship is the only form of obscenity wait i forgot government tobacco subsidies
