public demand for encrypted cell phones. Congress mandated this and
is considering tighter restrictions. (Yeah, the FCC also wants to
make sure the receiver local oscillator doesn't radiate too much, but
that is a minor issue).

rder seems like
a reasonable compromise.
Laws work best when they recognize reality. Bad guys will get strong
crypto, controls or no, and if you don't trust the government, you
have to assume they will use the surreptitious means anyway.

;d suggest CipherSaber, which
is based on RC4 and is simple enough to program from memory (see
http://ciphersaber.gurus.com). Almost all PCs come with Qbasic built
in or on the CD-ROM. I haven't tried it, but CipherSaber should fit
easily into most of the newer graphing calculators (The $200 TI-92+
even has a qwerty keyboard. See http://www.ti.com/calc).
I'd be interested in hearing more about what human rights workers need.

bits per character. That means your
90-bit password would take only14 characters. For example:

I think the last is the easiest to remember, but tastes vary. All are
equally secure!

e chip and disable these power monitor
circuits, he can probably also put a logic analyzer on the memory
lines and extract the key that way.

I wouldn't dismiss the suggestion
quite so fast if the program is also being for communications
security. One possible solution might be to allow two passwords, one
of which is stored on the pilot in encrypted form, with the second
password as the key.

so couple this to light detection, and whatnot.

Intel's reluctance to publish details of the RNG interface and to
make raw bits available to system designers is troublesome and
suspect.

on their way out. Apple no longer ships them in any
of their computers. Palm Pilots and CE machines don't have them.
Other PC manufacturers are under severe cost pressure and will see
the light soon. Being able to save a 1.4 MB file is not worth much
these days.
And what is the value proposition for the consumer? SSL works swell.

andom so that it would be unlikely that any two
FPGA CPU would have the same layout. This would make it hard to build
a trap door into the FPGA itself.

is hard and time consuming or that Thompson's paper adds another
dimension to the difficulty, but his work does not prove it is
impossible.
On the other hand, you did mention me in the same breath as David
Hilbert, so perhaps I shouldn't complain.
