Today's "Svenska Dagbladet" has an article on a policy paper released by the Swedish Foreign Office that follows the American agenda. "Only simple encryption that is easy to decypher should be sold outside the country without restriction." Also, "it is required that capability is created for legal access to clear-text or keys." (My ugly, but precise, translation from the article's quote from the report.) The report authors suggest a complicated structure with key depositories, "preferably privately owned" that "can be granted control over all of the encryption keys that are used on the Internet." Police and proscecutors can obtain these encryption keys as needed to access secret documents. The report has been widely criticized. Martin Minow minow@apple.com
