clipper plans 4 sale (was Re: Earl Edwin Pitts, $224,000)

[Adam Back <aba@dcs.ex.ac.uk>]

In Ross Anderson's paper `Tamper Resistance - a Cautionary Note' (see
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/), there is a reference to the clipper
chip having already been reverse engineered:

Anderson writes: "We are reliably informed that at least one
U.S. chipmaker reverse engineered the Clipper chip shortly after its
launch."

Heart warming :-)
