Either that, or Netscape, Microsoft, and RSA are being practical and doing something that will legally put SOME cryptography in the hands of everyone today. It's all in how you look at it.
There is an old saying in the Security Field: "Poor Security is worse than no security at all". I doubt that you would find few if any that would agree with you that it is a good thing having the masses using weak crypto. At least the US members of the Open-PGP group are willing to sacrifice overseas sales in the effort to provide STRONG crypto to EVERYONE. It is the right thing to do. I am sorry to see that you do not uderstand this. If you choose to dance with the Devil to line your pockets that is your choice but don't expect me to recomend that anyone join in with you. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
