I hate to tip folks off as to my column for tomorrow, but that's exactly what I'm doing in it. I have written that if the Feds try to impose key-recovery crypto on me, I'll start using some encryption program that doesn't comply with the law, and I'll send copies of the messages to the Feds, so they can come and arrest me. If I really thought they would, I wouldn't have written it! But I'll stand by it.
Hiawatha, I enjoyed your column (Boston Globe Business Section Sept. 11), but why don't you announce that you have a PGP key, print it's signature in a column and ask people to use it to send you news tips? This would enable a freedom of the press challange to GAK.
Anyway, I don't presently encrypt my mail. No reason to--I ain't no pedophile...;-) So if I want to send crypto I must find some partner in crime. Any volunteers?
Count me in. My PGP key is available from my home page http://world.std.com/~reinhold and the servers and its signature is printed in E-mail for Dummies, 2nd Edition, page 232. People are invited to send me ideas and tips via encrypted mail for future books.
