What a good idea! I'm tired of all this political trash, furthermore
I'm outside the US and I don't like listening all the time to the risks
of using a patented algorithm, to the risks of looking at a patented
algorithm, to the incredible risks of even messing with a patented algoritmh
when living in the US. ``Cryptography == Weapon == Illegal'' for some
people, but I cannot stand this absurdity any more.
Regards,
David
PS:
The correct equation would be:
``Cryptography == Privacy == Lack of control by government''
==>
``Crypto must be declared illegal to discourage its diffusion''
Let's not make things more complicated.
