I've been part of a group of five security researchers (with Steve Bellovin, David Farber, Peter Neumann, and Gene Spafford) who were asked by the Chief Scientist at the Justice Department to identify technical issues with the FBI's "Carnivore" system that should be addressed by an independent review. As readers of this list know, the contractor chosen by DoJ to conduct the review, IITRI, recently released a draft report of its findings. We've studied that report and continue to have serious concerns about Carnivore. Our report, which we've released this morning, can be found at http://www.crypto.com/papers/carnivore_report_comments.html -matt
