U.S. Allows Export Of Crypto Product
(12/22/98, 5:38 p.m. ET)
George Leopold, EE Times, http://www.eetimes.com
Network security specialists ODS Networks has won government
approval to export its strong-encryption product to companies in 42
countries, without a government-backed key-recovery feature.
ODS, in Richardson, Texas, said it is the first U.S. company to
receive a blanket export license from the Department of Commerce to
ship its encryption product. The government strictly controls the
export of encryption products with a key-recovery feature and key
lengths of 112, 128, or 1,024 bits.
The ODS products use an alternate "stream recovery" feature that
lets users protect encrypted data. The company said its
stream-recovery scheme helps resolve conflicting requirements for
privacy and monitoring.
ODS said its objective was to introduce a monitoring capability that
protects the rights of innocent third parties in criminal
investigations.
