The new "Protecting Electronic Health Information" report by the National Academy of Sciences is at: http://jya.com/pehi.htm (615K) There is quite a lot of crypto discussion. The NY Times featured this report on Page One today. It's worth reminding that this report and the recent one on secrecy both fault national encryption policy and emphasize that it's time to break the logjam caused by NatSec/LEA dispute with commerce, and get on with protecting the privacy of citizens from government and commerce working in cahoots. Note that commerce is seen as much a threat as government, with the looming probablility that government and commerce will unite against the citizenry, now as ever, both claiming to protect from the other, using their phony fight as a camouflage for royal screwing rights.
