From: Vladimir Z. Nuri maybe TCM, who in this case imho is part of the PROBLEM and not part of the SOLUTION, and an example of how our own behavior is sabotaging our key goals, will think twice when he writes another *sskissing, tedious "what the NSA thinks about [x]" post. ....................................................................................... Maybe he should write something like this?: it seems to me the problem is when a government begins to insist that the only authorized encryption you can use must be based on the secret key they give you is where all the problems arise. so, what we could advocate as a compromise (given that the post office is absolutely not going to *not* get in this business, from what I can tell). we encourage the idea of KEY FREEDOM this would be a heading for the idea that we are in support of the (our) government creating cryptographic infrastructures and key authentication services, as long as we always have the total freedom to encrypt according to however we please in private communications.
