Micro view. Clipper: soon a de facto standard?

Despite assurances to the contrary, the US government may put its buying power and political muscle into making a de facto commercial standard of the Clipper chip. As a hardware device implanted in telephones, Clipper and its associated key escrow system are designed to ensure the security of electronic communications against private adversaries, while also providing law enforcement and national security agencies with master keys for intercepting and decoding messages.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Cryptographic Threat Analysis

The gradual growth of interest in cryptography during the DES and RSA era is culminating in the introduction by the US government of the new generation of the Skipjack secret algorithm, escrowed keys, the Clipper Chip and Capstone integration of the DSA signature, and public key management. This renewed interest, and a surge in product implementations of cryptography, justify a review of the threats to information that this security technology addresses. Such a review is especially advisable since the current approach to cryptography seems to be intellectual and technical, and fails to adequately consider the realistic threat environment. Cryptography is the most powerful technical means of protecting information from losses of confidentiality and, in some ways, from the loss of availability and utility, integrity and authenticity, and possession. In fact, it is so powerful that misuse of cryptography can cause great damage to the owners and users of faultily encrypted information that can't be decrypted.
