I've been part of a group of five security researchers (with Steve Bellovin,
David Farber, Peter Neumann, and Gene Spafford) who were asked by the
Chief Scientist at the Justice Department to identify technical issues
with the FBI's "Carnivore" system that should be addressed by an
independent review. As readers of this list know, the contractor
chosen by DoJ to conduct the review, IITRI, recently released a
draft report of its findings. We've studied that report
and continue to have serious concerns about Carnivore. Our report,
which we've released this morning, can be found at
