Can't I be a supporter of strong crypto, and also be in it for the money? Many people here make good money off of crypto related work. If I'm asked to implement GAK in a situation where it is not mandated by law, I won't do it.
Yes. You don't have to work at Netscape to make money doing crypto. Witness the various crypto-related startups who do not support key escrow. Comsec partners, electric communities, community connexion, etc. (Not that you can't be a supporter of strong crypto and work for netscape at the same time. The jury [in my mind] is still out on that one) -- sameer Voice: 510-601-9777 Community ConneXion FAX: 510-601-9734 The Internet Privacy Provider Dialin: 510-658-6376 http://www.c2.org/ (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org
