Hans Bullier was my instructor at Crypto-AG back in 1990. While I was working for the UN in UNTSO as the cryptografic curator. We new then that the machines were rigged and the Israles were openly reading our mail on the HC-4400 cryptofax machines. It turns out that the seed key was planted in the hc6800 security cpu provided by Motorolla. The machines were on an average sending out at least 4 copies of the same encripted document at the same time.
