Freie Krypto: Neuer Anlauf Im US-Kongress-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- updating 96.13.5 [sic] Freie Krypto: Neuer Anlauf Im US-Kongress Noch eine unendliche Geschichte, kommt diese Woche wieder einmal in den US-Senat, wo sie seit 1996 schon mehrfach am Widerstand des militärisch-Elektronischen Komplexes gescheitert ist: Die von der Pro Code Bill (96) zum SAFE Act mutierte Gesetzvorlage zur Freigabe starker Kryptographie. Die Voraussetzungen scheinen allerdings zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt günstig wie nie zu sein. Anno 96 http://ezines.onb.ac.at:8080/quint/pub/97-03-13/Netzteil/NetNotes.ARChive/960513.html -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Courtney Macavinta February 25, 1999, 4:00 a.m. ... As promised, Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia) and Zoe Lofgren (D-California) today revived the Security and Freedom Through Encryption (SAFE) Act. SAFE protects the right to use encryption domestically and simplifies the governmental review process for exporting strong products. The bill also prohibits mandatory "key- escrow" or "key-recovery" systems, which give law enforcement a spare key to crack encrypted data. .... The bill gained 249 sponsors in the House last year but died after going through five renditions--one of which aimed to give law enforcement quick access to unlock secure messages within the United States during criminal investigations. ... And proponents of crypto export reform may have a better shot in Congress this year as major foes are no longer around. For instance, in New York, Republican Rep. Gerald Solomon has retired. When he was chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee, he prevented Goodlatte and Lofgren's bill from coming to a vote. Rep. David Dreier (R-California), who favors export relief, now heads the committee. One past opponent to relief--Sen. Bob Kerrey (D- Nebraska)--also has now switched sides in the debate. Still, House Speaker Dennis Hastert fiercely advocates encryption limits, and could put up roadblocks if the issue comes to a floor vote. full text http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,32895,00.html?st.ne.fd.mdh -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-02-25 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
