5-2-96 FiTi reports at length on its investigation of a $19
million fraud and conspiracy involving smart cards using
the Fiat-Shamir algorithm for encrypting UK video.
Most of the detailed, complicated report is about the
financial and tax-evasive shenanigan's of firms jointly
providing the cards to BSkyB sat-tv.
Adi Shamir's work is featured but he does not appear to be
at fault, although a central role was played by News Data
Security Products (10% owned by Shamir).
The report does not get into the technology of crypto, but
shows its keylock appeal for criminal conspiracies.
