re more clipper stuff ben liberman ben genesis mcs com wrote what if clipper is fairly secure but leaves a distinct clipper signature that is what if it s not too difficult to tell that a msg was clipper encrypted even if you can t tell the contents in that case anyone who is trying to hide behind anther encryption scheme will stand out from all of the other traffic and raise a red flag to the nsa etc i think the obvious answer which may have been posted but i haven t seen it is to encrypt your data with some other scheme then run it through clipper the only way the police will be able to detect the other encryption is through a wiretap so even if they do notice with an illegal wiretap i have a hard time seeing a judge issuing a warrant for a search to confiscate the illegal scheme assuming that at one day it comes to this a worse case based on an illegal wiretap then again maybe i am an idealist ben liberman internet ben genesis mcs com ben tai chi il us michael sawyer my opinions are mine not necessarily uh s nsf s or nasa s university of hawaii physical oceanography satellite remote sensing ripem public key available md ofpublickey c c a d c dccc d
