From: Timothy C. May I don't proprose to "prevent" any company from exploring key escrow. I just don't see why law enforcement, intelligence agencies, etc. have anything to do with this, and I am very worried by the arguments I hear about "legitimate needs of law enforcement" and "export laws." ..................................................... So what about this statement you made earlier:
Putting Microsoft's feet to the fire, getting them to commit to *not* including any form of software-based key escrow in any future releases of Windows (Chicago or Daytona) could be a concrete step in the right direction. Ditto for Apple.
I'm sure we can think of other steps to help derail widespread deployment of this infrastructure.
I have the same concerns, I just don't see how it would be possible to cause a company to "commit" itself to not doing this, i.e. preventing the company from including SKE in its products. Blanc.
