Checking the relevant document again, I think this is wrong:
--------------------
Federal Information Processing Standards Publication XX
1993 XX
Announcing the Escrowed Encryption Standard (EES)
[blah blah]
The security equipment shall ensure that the LEAF is transmitted
in such a manner that the LEAF and ciphertext may be decrypted
with legal authorization. No additional encryption or modification
of the LEAF is permitted.
[...]
--------------------
I remembered this text out of context. Correctly interpreted, it
looks like it's just a specification for devices implementing the
(voluntary, natch) Escrowed Encryption Standard. Sorry about that.
