  An associate, Mr. Max Southall of Micro/Access, was recently asked
to comment on the possible need for a Canadian cryptographic
standard, rather than the proposed ISO DEA-1.

  As neither he nor I have a strong opinion, we are passing the
question on the the portion of the user/researcher community active on
the net:

  For the guidance of the Data Cryptographics Technical Committee of
the Standards Council of Canada, do you feel that Canada needs a
unique data encryption standard, and if so, what relation should it
have to the ISO DEA-1 standard?

  Responses by email or net, please:  we will post more information
and the address for written responses presently... (Max is
discussing it by phone right now).
