Does anyone understand what this "Concryption" really is? Reading the press blurbs, it could be nothing more than simply compressing the stream before encrypting it. A patent on that idea would be rather awkward.
"Concryption" is the process by which your secret data gets enlisted in service to the government, as with Clipper and GAK. The original term when people got pressed into military service was "conscription," but times change. Thus, one might say, "My secrets have been concrypted--the government now has them." (After all, why do you think so many software releases are called "drafts"?) --Klaus!
