This book outlines the next civil liberties battle in the United States." - Marc Rotenberg, Electronic Privacy Information Center "One-stop-shopping for even the most sophisticated analyst of the policy wars over cryptography." - A. Michael Froomkin, Associate Professor of Law, University of Miami Law School "Lance Hoffman has compiled an extraordinarily useful and well balanced collection of materials on cryptography and its applications. This book will instantly become a definitive compendium." - Peter G. Neumann "Though Lance Hoffman is a dedicated opponent of current government policy, he has assembled a volume that should be -- and will be -- on the desk of every cryptographic policymaker in Washington. He has accurately recorded the many voices in a debate that will profoundly affect our future, for good or ill, well into the twenty-first century. This book is an important contribution to the history of encryption. It is an even more important contribution to those who are struggling to shape that history." - Stewart Baker, Steptoe & Johnson (formerly General Counsel to the National Security Agency) "An authoritative source of political writings by the major players in the crypto revolution." - Philip Zimmermann, Creator of PGP _________________________________________________________________ Includes Steven Levy's peerless "Cypherpunks vs Uncle Sam" and other Shortstop-proof cpunx ammunitions.
