Distinguished cryptographers and computer scientists have released a new
report, "The Risks of Key Recovery, Key Escrow, and Trusted Third-Party
Encryption."

The report follows an earlier recommendation of the OECD that the risks of
key escrow encryption be considered before key escrow infrastructures are
established. The report concludes "The deployment of a global key-recovery-
based encryption infrastructure to meet law enforcement's stated specifications
will result in substantial sacrifices in security and greatly increased costs
to the end-user."
