I don't rember if any key-splitting schemes currently allow it, but how about this: the escrow agencies would be the courts, requiring one assent from each judge on the appeals chain. As each judge rules against the defendant or denies the appeal, he adds his piece of the key to the ruling. When you reach the top of the chain, then *and only then* can you be traced.
JAK (Judicial Access to Keys) sounds as though it wouldn't give the LEAs a chance to pre-emptively snoop on message traffic before prosecution, unlike POTS wiretaps and Clipper. I don't see the govt. ever favoring such a scheme that doesn't help the LEAs to "gather" evidence to justify an indictment. They will probably skip JAK instead <ducking ;>.... -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com>
