Hi all,

I am writing an article to help people understand the technical and
practical issues surrounding the key escrow debate.  Can someone tell me
how the Fortezza chip works.

I have a 1993 document which is incomplete.  Is the session key K still
encrypted with the unit key U?  And is that whole thing encrypted, with
the serial number, with the family key F?  I'd appreciate some more
current info.  You will be credited in my article.
