In speaking with an associate, he mentioned in passing that PGP had
been broken a few weeks ago in San Diego by the DoD using a Cray.
All questioning about said subject was ended immediately as he felt
that he might have said too much how it was. Was PGP "broken"?
His background: Prez of a firm with offices in D.C. & Silicon
Valley. He is a former Thunderbird pilot, and so has some
connections in the military. He has designed many hardware
encrypting configurations using the VLSI007 chip as well as other
chips that I am not familiar with. One of his present projects is
designing a hardware encryption layout for Apple.
Could this be part of the reason the charges were dropped against
Phil as well?
