Responding to msg by Adam Shostack ( when bad things happen to good crypto): The technical reason to oppose GAK is that it adds points of failure to a crypto system which need not be there. Those POF are not adequately tied to the consequences of their actions (releasing a key improperly), and as such will be used as points to attack the integrity of the system. ............................................................... And if there were no points of failure added by it, would you approve, agree, to its mandatory requirement? .. Blanc
