[NTSEC] SKIPJACK / NT4.0 (SP3?) (fwd)



Now this is interesting! :)  (Either that or JA is smoking crack... - no
idea on JA's reputation capital though...)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I was rooting around in the registry tonight, (looking to repair my own 
stupidity!),
and guess what I saw?  SKIPJACK is installed, and ENABLED!  I have NOT
(now would I EVER) installed it voluntarily, and Micro$loth only advertises 
the
"standard" ciphers (which I also found).

Is anyone else aware of this?  Is it safe to delete the key (and code? 
Hopefully
this is DLL driven: I'm still looking!).

Also, anyone know what it was put there for?  It's certainly not what I would 

consider an SSL issue!
