INTEL TEAMS UP WITH SECURITY COMPANY
Through an alliance with the computer encryption company RSA Data Security
Inc., chip maker Intel Corp. will develop and manufacture high-performance
chips with embedded RSA encryption technology. One question yet to be
resolved is whether the chips will meet various export restrictions imposed
by the U.S. government, which fears that such technology could fall into the
hands of international criminals or terrorists. Industry analyst David Wu
says, "These high-performance chips are going to make Internet commerce more
safe. It helps the overall computer industry, but Intel may have to use
good, persuasive lobbyists and lawyers in Washington to get them accepted."
