 FBI Discloses Some Details of "Key Logger System"
 In an affidavit filed with a federal court in New Jersey, the FBI has
 disclosed some of the details of a controversial "key
 logger system" used to obtain the encryption password of
 a criminal suspect. The government has successfully
 argued that the full details of the system are classified
 and cannot be disclosed to the defense.
