Under the plan - National Security Decision Directieve 145 -
the security of both commercial and military information
systems in USA will be the responsibility of the National
Security Agency - the federal government's supersecret
intelligence and cryptographic organisation.
Directive 145, plans to supersede DES protocols with a
new standard that incorporates specialed key-variable
code-generating algorithms to create nearly tamper-proof
datacomm ICs. The first commercial development is the Harris
HS3447 Cypher 1, a CMOS chip.
NSA will no longer approve DES after 1988. The switch to
the new Comsec (Communications Security) chips will be
gradual.
