I'll send what details I have along later. Basically what was broken was the key distribution method. None of the three methods involve breaking DES itself.

Not only are many law enforcement agencies being forced to move to UHF because of a lack of available frequencies, many are moving to scramblers. Before too long, you won't be able to listen in at all.... When this happens, you won't be able to spend a relaxing evening listening to the world fall apart. But you can still find out all you want to know about the crime trends of any area of your city just by contacting the law enforcement agency and asking them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimers?

There are *many* hard drive locks in public domain. I have not tried any of them but the one that is getting the highest acclaims is PC-LOK11.ARC. It should be available on just about any local BBS system. If you can't find it, send E-Mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimers?
