What would help is a list from experts on what are the most gov-enraging programs. We'd like to offer a few of those on jya.com, to test BXA's up-and- running crypto-enforcement program, maybe get some jail and trial pleasure, it's been too quiet on Bernstein, Junger, Karn, et al, a deliberate gov-stall, awaiting Wassenaar.
One way to determine which programs are the best for this purpose would be to study what various governments have taken some action on. Some obvious ones: PGP (various versions, high level of government interest) Snuffle (extended US litigation) All the AES candidates (strictly-controlled dissemination from NIST) SecureOffice (Charles Booher's program -- US government has taken action) Applied Cryptography disk (US export license denied) It would also be nice to have an infrastructural component, such as (when ready for mass distribution) the Linux/FreeSWAN IPSec release; this doesn't have quite the cachet of programs on which the government has already weighed in, though. -- Jim Gillogly Sterday, 18 Foreyule S.R. 1998, 17:40 12.19.5.13.11, 10 Chuen 4 Mac, First Lord of Night
