Clipper
     
        1.  An {integrated circuit} which
        implements the {SkipJack} {algorithm}.  The Clipper is
        manufactured by the US government to encrypt telephone data.
        It has the added feature that it can be decrypted by the US
        government, which has tried to make the chip compulsory in the
        United States.  Phil Zimmerman (inventor of {PGP}) remarked,
        "This doesn't even pass the sniff test" (i.e. it stinks).
