I thought this list was supposed to have a lot of technical stuff--something on the order of disseminating new ideas on the cutting edge of crypto-technology. Most everything I see these days seems purely political. If there are problems with RSA v. PGP or the Wiretap Chip (and there definitely are!!!) then we should concentrate on designing our own. We can do things like redesign and code the engine in PGP which is normally handled by the RSA proprietary code and we can work to come up with voice encryption alternatives to the Wiretap chip. In other words, let's start using resources other than talk. Talk is cheap but actions are the catalysts of change. I am interested in working with people (perhaps you) on projects involving crypto, computers, and telecommunications. If any of you are serious enough to do more than talk, perhaps we can organize a team to vigorously pursue these projects. Anthony J. Gatlin |-------------------------------------| Cadet Private, Co.
