I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Denning in person and I asked her about her views on GAK. Her responses made a lot of sense to me. Most businesses, if they thought about it, would prohibit their employers from having information on company computers encrypted so the owner of the computer can't read them. This is just good business sense.
<sigh> GAK - Government Access to Keys and corporate control of encryption procedures & keys are two completely different issues. This is just more smoke and mirrors to cloud & confuse the issue. There are many solutions currently available for a company to handle the encryption of their data including the use of "master keys" to prevent data loss (an option available even with PGP). Government mandated infrastructure of GAK is unnecessary and unwarranted for such purposes. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
