The Government will propose creating a network of what are called Trusted Third Parties, or TTPs.
Britain is now trying to establish the infamous GCHQ protocol as the ETSI standard for "Trusted Third Parties". Ulrich Sandl (who represents the German ministry of economics on crypto issues at international conferences etc.) wrote on the Krypto mailing list that the German and other delegations have protested in the last minute. The German standards proposal does not contain key escrow.
