Federal Computer Week, April 6, 1998:
NSA report details risks of key-recovery technology
The National Security Agency has prepared a report that may
be the first federal government documentation of the potential
risks posed by the encryption technology that has been at the
center of a raging debate between the Clinton administration
and industry.
The report, "Threat and Vulnerability Model for Key Recovery,"
pointed out that certain law enforcement agents and officials
operating key-recovery centers could pose the greatest threat
to a key-recovery system -- and to the users' data, which is
encrypted by the system -- if proper security mechanisms were
not in place.

Any leads on getting a copy of the NSA report would be
appreciated.
