AP reported on Feb 7 that NASA is looking for a secret device that encrypts communication between the shuttle and ground controllers.
If someone else finds it they could "study the technology", says the AP. Sounds like fun for cypherpunks. Anybody seen it on eBay? :-) Alternatively, c'punks could plant fake mil-spec DES or CPRM encryption boxes around Louisiana and Texas in the hope that foreign spies will find them and 'crack' them.
