Re: Interesting point about the declassified Capstone spec

[John Young]

What is current thinking of the AES finalists on NSA review
of the proposals. Will there be (or has there been), say, overtures 
made to the developers to cooperate with national security and/or
law enforcement requirements.

Or is an alternate, parallel successor to DES underway for that 
dual- or single-use purpose.

Or, or, is there SIGINT technology which gives access despite crypto?
Not the CE kind that's known and sold commercially, but a
means and method out front of open sources.

Yeah, this is asking for classified-at-birth info, but what's the speculation?
A paper or rump session on that at AES New York, or Fast Encryption 
would draw a curious crowd, no?
