"Harris" is actually the name of an organization who is under the CCEP
program developing encryption chips.  The branch that is doing this work
is Harris Semiconductor in Florida (Melbourne?).  I had received some
literature at a recent DC show about their HS3447 Cypher1 chip, but cannot
recall if this was DES based, or used the high-grade encryption algorithm.
I do know they are currently under the CCEP program, but couldn't tell you
whether or not those chips are available yet.
