Message-ID: <2561@pesnta.UUCP> Date: Fri, 21-Sep-84 12:13:47 EDT Article-I.D.: pesnta.2561 Posted: Fri Sep 21 12:13:47 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 25-Sep-84 21:24:48 EDT References: <21bdf834.1de6@apollo.uucp> <4710@brl-tgr.ARPA> Organization: Perkin-Elmer DSG, Santa Clara, Calif. Lines: 13 How many "Soviets" have access to the entire UNIX* source? Think it is impossible for AT&T to hire a Soviet spy to work on the UNIX* source? I don't think the spy is going to put his/her profession on the resume. Or for that matter, what about any major University out there -- just send your spy to get a degree and have access to all sorts of goodies! Forget trying to keep the DES out of Soviet hands, they already have it. The only good that would come out of not shipping the DES routines overseas is to keep the good guy honest because the bad guy will always find a way around the barrier. -- Earl Wallace UUCP: ..!{ihnp4, ucbvax!hplabs, ucbvax!twg}!pesnta!earlw PHONE: (408) 727-5540 x230 USMAIL: Perkin-Elmer Corp., Santa Clara, Calif. 95054
