              NON-U.S. CRYPTOGRAPHIC PRODUCT SURVEY
                               CALL FOR INFORMATION
**************************************************************

The George Washington University and NAI Labs, The Security Research
Division of Network Associates (formerly the research division of
Trusted Information Systems) are conducting a survey to identify
cryptographic products manufactured outside the United States and are
examining product specifications to assess their functionality and
security.

We are soliciting input from those with knowledge of cryptographic
products through the use of this survey form.  If you know of
cryptographic products that are manufactured in countries other than the

United States, please complete this form and submit it to the Cyberspace

Policy Institute (CPI) NO LATER THAN TUESDAY MAY 18, 1999. You may
submit this form via email to cpi@seas.gwu.edu or fax at (202) 994-5505
in Washington D.C.

In addition, we ask you to send or post this survey to anyone or place
that would have knowledge of cryptographic products. Inquiries about
this survey may be made to the Cyberspace Policy Institute at
cpi@seas.gwu.edu or (202) 994-5512. This survey may also be found on the

CPI Web site at http://www.seas.gwu.edu/seas/institutes/cpi.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
