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. 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? Hiawatha Bray Technology Reporter Boston Globe P.O.

Me. Whatever anyone else does, I'm going to first... ignore any government mandates or law on crypto [use it anyway] then, challenge them... and finally, defy them. Period. That's where I'm at. And, I'm going to tell them that's what I'm going to do. On any website I can.
