Andrew Grosso is the former prosecutor. I've also been chatting with Bruce "I wrote the CDA" Taylor to see what his views are, but I suspect he'll fall into line with his pals at the DoJ. Last week after a TV show I was telling Donna Rice-Hughes about how crypto can protect against stalkers, but I don't know if she understood my argument. Others will be able to suggest many more people, I'm sure. I'm still frazzled from my trip. Yesterday I was wandering around Chile's socialist museum; the day before I was climbing an active volcano in the south. //yawn// -Declan At 12:00 -0700 10/16/97, Stanton McCandlish wrote:
This year I recall seeing 1 former prosecutor saying that widespread encryption was good and/or that GAK was bad, and 1 military or former military person of fairly high status saying that GAK was bad. Circa 1994-5 I also recall a military or retired miltiary person of rank reporting that very widespread crypto would be a boost to national security. We could really use these people's, and similar people's, words in pro-crypto efforts. Unfortunately, disk problems a while back cost me most of my old mail, including all of these saved items. If anyone has them and/or knows who these people are, please let me know.
