ENCRYPTION PLAN DRAWS FIRE. The Clipper Chip is under attack again from computer industry officials and civil-liberties activists following the announcement that the Commerce Dept.'s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a non-law enforcement section of the Treasury Dept. would act as escrow agents for the "keys" needed to decode digital communications. Coming out against the idea were the Software Publishers Association, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Business Software Alliance, among others.
