firsts never mean much except that in this case, the conference could address other issues instead of spending the total conference arguing the fallacies of encryption policies, or as you aptly stated: But she clearly intends to do more than collaborate: The joint principles call for the government "to continue providing the public and private sectors with standards for reliable and secure telecommunications and data processing technologies." Like the Clipper Chip, maybe? --By Declan McCullagh/Washington or as I put in an earlier rant: is it not odd that the more the government tries to abridge our free speech rights, the more they want to confiscate our weapons? encryption is a [modern*] weapon against government intrusion and tyranny. * modern in the sense of availability easily to the masses. BTW: today's Doonesbury is timeless. Coach (nee Captain) has not lost it... attached for a limited use to a limited (no pun intended) audience under fair use -thanjs Gary. attila out... one more time for justice in our lifetime
