448Bit Encryption Export Approved
John Thacker writes
"Here is a News.com story about the
Commerce Dept. approving the export of a 448-bit
encryption system by a Tennessee company.
(Home of Al Gore, incidentally) This comes on
the eve of a big meeting between the FBI and
computer companies about encryption. The catch?
The program does have a back-door. But the back
door key is specific to a user. The Gov't can
still request to break in, but only for one
user when a subpoena is obtained. Not perfect,
but somewhat of a compromise. "
