****Customs Goes For Encryption -- And It's Not Clipper 07/11/94 (fwd)

I thank you for forwarding this bit of information.  I find it very useful and
enlightening.  Thank you. :-)

It's obvious that the government is trying to suppress all knowledge that
fully featured strong crypto systems exists on the market and DO NOT USE DES.
It's also obvious that they're using this IRE system, not because Clipper isn't
available, but because it's probably stronger than clipper anyway.
