A myopic guard dog
Article Abstract:
Cryptography is currently the most effective way to secure computer networks. The process works by scrambling readable plaintext which can only be unscrambled using a key which comes in the form of a number. The longer the number the stronger the code. However, applications of cryptography are being hampered by disputes between the software industry, FBI and National Security Agency (NSA). The software industry which develops encryption codes want to offer the strongest codes possible. However, the FBI and NSA do not want the public to gain access to codes that they cannot break or be given the keys to. The two agencies have also banned the distribution of keys stronger than 40-bit and established the DES as the standard encryption code despite claims that the code can be easily cracked.
