Professor Denning has an evolving statement of her position on encryption policy, the latest dated May 26, 1997: http://guru.cosc.georgetown.edu/~denning/crypto/position.html Excerpts: "I do not advocate domestic regulations mandating key recovery. Neither do I advocate that cryptography necessarily be free of all regulation, including export controls. I constantly struggle with the issues and do not see easy answers." "I support the program of the Clinton Administration to liberalize export controls for key recovery products, to adopt key recovery within federal agencies, and to promote the voluntary use of key recovery technologies. I believe that key recovery can be done without compromising privacy and security, but acknowledge that there are also costs and risks associated with key recovery."
