again: "anytime, anywhere", and "UKUSA".

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Netscape and other companies
--- the U.S. is a world leading producer of software technology --- are
having their products outlawed for world-wide distribution because of
ECHELON.

Ubiquitous full-strength crypto --- in all our email products and web
browsers --- would immediately begin to lessen ECHELON's ability to
spy in such a massive dragnet fashion.

There is an ugly implication to ECHELON being the reason Netscape and company
are being held hostage by the NSA.

   "Only with a court authorized warrant..." --- Louis Freeh, FBI Director

Louis Freeh is lying.

                    Key Recovery Isn't Even Feasible

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."
