How Federal Agencies Subvert Privacy.

Sometimes you have to do good engineering to straighten out twisted politics. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has done so by exploding the government-supported myth that the Data Encryption Standard (DES) has real security. For the first time this book reveals full technical details on how researchers and data recovery engineers can build a working DES Cracker. It includes design specifications and board schematics, as well as full source code for the custom chip, a chip simulator, and the software that drives the system. The US government makes it illegal to publish these details on the Web, but they're printed here in a form that's easy to read and understand, legal to publish, and convenient for scanning into your computer.
