Hi jane
you might enjoy the cryptogram by Bruce Schneier (inventor of the Two
Fish and Blow Fish algorithms for data encryption).
In December's issue he gives some info and stats based on "estimates"
regarding ECHELON and it's reach. I am involved in Cryptography and
always find the Cryptogram to be a very interesting read.
back issues of Cryptogram available at http://www.counterpane.com.
All the best
Mary.
