Does anyone know what the current ((March 99) status of fortezza
encryption? The NSA waiver for using this card to protect classified
data over unclassifed networks has expired. Does this mean that
Fortezza no longer provides "adequate" protection for sensitive data?
Or...how strong is fortezza now?
Are there any other cards presently out there that are sanctioned for
use to protect classified data over unclassified networks?
thanks
T. Roberts
