  Background: Type II crypto-deives are the NSA suggested replacement
for DES-based security devices.  The NSA controls the keys (!) and 
the spares (!).

  Does anyone have any info on the proposed NSA Type II crypto-devices?
All I've heard are rumors and vague promises about them.  I don't even
know the algorithm(s?) that are to be used.

  Unfortunately, I'd guess that this issue falls into the normal
security dichotomy: those that know don't talk; those that talk don't know.
I'm still interested in any stuff....
