Also announced by the Clinton administration was formal approval of the Clipper chip as a voluntary federal standard, allowing government agencies to purchase such chips for use with telephones and modems. A Justice Department official said his agency was purchasing 8,000 at a cost of about $8 million. Two government agencies, one in the Commerce Department and one in the Treasury Department, will store the keys needed for decryption of communications using the Clipper chip. The administration made the Clipper chip standard voluntary, not mandatory, for government and business. In January several computer hardware, software and telecommunications companies said they intended to support some standard other than the Clipper chip in order to protect the privacy of communications from the government. An FBI spokesman said at a February 4 briefing the administration hopes private industry will go along with the voluntary standard. He realized some criminals won't use the Clipper chip to encrypt their messages. "We know we'll have to deal with that," he said. NNNN .
