True

Explanation:

On 16th of April 1993, the Clinton White House brought in the concept of the Clipper Chip, a strategy for developing hardware backdoors to communications technologies.

The chip Was designed to be employed in American secure voice equipment, providing law enforcement agencies the complete and whole capability to decrypt its traffic with the aid of a key kept by the government.

The White House gave it's word that only law enforcement with the right "legal authorization" would be able to access that key—plus, the substances contained in the communications.

It is important to note that the Clipper Chip never came to light. Key escrow commonly experienced large public opposition, and the security of the Clipper Chip in particular was proven to be basically flawed by security researchers such as Matt Blaze.

By 1996, the Clipper Chip proposal couldn't hold any longer.
