* In October 1996, after being endorsed by CIA director John Deutch,
* this method of maintaining the government's ability to spy on
* encrypted communications REPLACED KEY ESCROW as the favored
* technology. KEY RECOVERY works by locating information that is

* Key recovery may have been the basis for NSA's most successful
* post-Cold War project for deciphering coded messages. Since the
* 1940's, the NSA reportedly rigged encryption systems sold by the
* Swiss firm Crypto A.G. so that the agency retained the ability
