madsen.txt
A highly interesting contribution on the obvious
involvement of the NSA in Crypto AG
(Switzerland). The affair became public in 1992
when an alleged Swiss spy was bailed out from
Iraqi prison. This is the only use of 'real Trojan
cryptography' I know of (see Section 6.7). The
article is a must-read for every cryptologist who is
interested in more than mathematics!

Text on the discussion in Section 8.2.1 as to how
'fatal' cryptography and modern data-transmission
methods might have become for intelligence
agencies — certainly useful to prevent becoming
paranoid, but one shouldn't underestimate the
NSA.
