HP GAK Proposal

http://www.dmo.hp.com/gsy/security/icf/main.html is a proposal by HP; don't know if it's the same as what they announced Monday. It's the approach they talked about 6 months ago or so, hardware solution with "tamperproof" module and government policy plugins. The example they show pictures of is a PCM-CIA card with little tabs you can plugin with US, UK, and some other flag on them, which would let your card do US, UK, and other flavors of GAK. It's nice to see an announcement the same week for strong-crypto plugins for Netscape, developed in Israel..... # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts@ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk
