Re: So, what crypto legislation (if any) is necessary? (Was List O' , shame)

I think many people on the list here had the right idea generally. No legislation is good legislation for crypto. Really the ITAR applications are beseiged right now, and will probably fizzle out of their own accord, not to mention the fact that they are de facto moot.

In practice it is trivial to subvert ITAR for the purposes of worldwide crypto availability.

You've obviously never brought a crypto product to market before. Granted, worldwide *personal* use of crypto availability is trivial, but not corporate. -- Sameer Parekh Voice: 510-601-9777x3 Community ConneXion, Inc.
