Markoff reports today on the latest GAK ploy:
http://jya.com/gak-door.htm
Excerpts:
Government officials disputed the idea that requiring
decoding technology would necessarily mean the technology
would be used.
"There is nothing about putting this enabling technology
into law that will inevitably lead to it being turned on,"
said Robert Litt, a Deputy Assistant United States
Attorney.
The Administration is now moving on an effort to block
legislation [SAFE] that is to be considered this week by the house
Intelligence and National Security Committees. That
legislation would end Government control over cryptographic
systems. The Administration proposal is being offered as an
amendment to that bill.
