Message-ID: <294@cdi.UUCP> Date: Tue, 31-Jan-84 17:56:16 EST Article-I.D.: cdi.294 Posted: Tue Jan 31 17:56:16 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 8-Feb-84 02:02:57 EST Organization: Computer Development Inc, Beaverton OR Lines: 10 Last Thursday (I think) NBC Talknet News had an item about a new chip that would "solve the problem of data theft" et al. There was no mention of the type of encryption invloved, but through the ``Newspeak'' I surmised that they were talking about some form of Public Key system. So far, I haven't been able to track this down. Anybody heard of it?? The company had "Sierra" in its name but that hasn't been any help either. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX CDI Portland OR (503)-646-1599 cdi!caf
