This is my first test of this list...hope it works...and a brief opinion on the KPFA (etc.) interview with our own John Gilmore, representing the EFF, Jim Bidzos, of RSA Data Security, and Jim Kellstrom (sp?) of the FBI. I made a tape of it and can bring it to the 10/10/92 crypto meeting. John did an excellent job of raising the constitutional issues, while the FBI guy basically said "Trust us." Jim Bidzos of RSA Data Security didn't say much, as the thrust of the discussion was more on wiretapping and the proposed Digital Telephony bill, with not much of substance said about RSA and public key cryptography. I waited on the 1-800-464-5732 line to ask about the status of use of encryption, especially with RSA and RSA-like systems, but the show ran out of time before I could get on. This series seems timely. Every Wednesday at noon on KPFA. Check your local listings and the announcement list John sent out a few days ago. --Tim -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
