3. Finds the SAFE bill unhelpful but likes its crypto-criminali- zation provision and favors McCain-Kerrey's Secure Public Network Act bill or other legislation that will: ... Offer, on a voluntary basis, firms that are in the business of providing public cryptography keys the opportunity to obtain government recognition, allowing them to market the trustworthiness implied by government approval. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BWHAHAHA this is some kind of sick joke surely.
Get ur crypto here folks, it's approved by the gubermint.
Therein lies the problem, it actually would be funny, if it weren't true. The sheeple will feel its good 'cuz it is *gummint 'proved* !! And all the ignorant suits out their will lockstep ... when in doubt nobody gets fired for buying *gummint approved* !!! THEN, the gummint boys can come back and say "...look 92% of businesses went along with it" as the raison d'etre for turning it into a mandate. I tend to think of this process as 'lemmings followed by a bulldozer' <long deep sigh> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBNBLACMdZgC62U/gIEQISCgCeIqmbttUr4OJMW4IEvX5M5IcS3wIAoMdb ec5/DGdCai/kac4R7hd+o4l7 =z941 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Brian B.
