This is certainly wrong. Probably what is meant is "16 of the bits..." but I have no information to verify this claim. Andrew 21:51, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
Since late 2004, the lead sentence has claimed that this cipher is "used broadly throughout the United States government to secure all types of classified information". That may have been true in 2004, but is it still so today? One would expect it to be superseded by AES, at least for civilian applications that don't rely on algorithmic obscurity. – Henning Makholm 15:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Just want to say that this stuff is freaking fascinating. Probably more so than it would be if the whole spec were public. :) 67.119.195.43 ( talk) 19:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
"BATON has a 96- or 128-bit block size" was deleted as unsourced, but the public PKCS#11 standard specifies BATON-ECB96 and BATON-ECB128 modes. "Like other NSA ciphers, including JUNIPER" was also deleted as unsourced, but JUNIPER-SHUFFLE is in PKCS#11, and the glossary at the end of the standard defines JUNIPER as a MISSI block cipher, like BATON. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.68.35 ( talk) 04:25, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
