stated policy of the escrow agent is that the key owner MUST be informed, what are the cops gonna do about it?
Further, how are the cops going to evidence the existence of a valid warrant? (As opposed to a forgery?)
The judge that issues it will digitally sign it. You can check the signature block.
However, what about an UNCOOPERATIVE escrow agent? (one who insists on signed paper, or for that matter insists that the judge himself shows up.) Or one, at least, who sites himself in Borneo, on the top of a 4000 foot mountain, with a 386 laptop computer and a box of floppies, and who promises 2 hour services to anybody who shows up? No email, no fax, no phone, no light, no motor car, not a single luxury....oooops....sorry about that...not even radio.
Moreover, if the escrow agent is out of the country, can any domestic laws force him to divulge keys?
And anyway, you could just be a kind of escrow agent that will hold the keys for the key owner, right? You don't have to say that you will provide them to the government, right? =============================================================================== David Rosoff (nihongo o sukoshi dekiru) ----------------> drosoff@arc.unm.edu For PGP key 0xD37692F9, finger drosoff@acoma.arc.unm.edu 0xD37692F9 Key fingerprint = 25 7D AA 01 85 41 43 89 50 5A 33 76 F1 F1 99 67 Do you know who's reading your email? ---> http://www.arc.unm.edu/~drosoff/pgp/ Anonymous ok, PGP ok.
