Markoff reports today on the latest GAK ploy: http://jya.com/gak-door.htm Excerpts: Government officials disputed the idea that requiring decoding technology would necessarily mean the technology would be used. "There is nothing about putting this enabling technology into law that will inevitably lead to it being turned on," said Robert Litt, a Deputy Assistant United States Attorney. The Administration is now moving on an effort to block legislation [SAFE] that is to be considered this week by the house Intelligence and National Security Committees. That legislation would end Government control over cryptographic systems. The Administration proposal is being offered as an amendment to that bill.
