High-Tech Leaders Join Forces to Enable International Strong Encryption

See: http://www.ibm.com/news/alliance2.htm

The "International Strong Encryption" phrase is something that we need to become active in stopping. Anything which responds to such announcements should put a different spin on this phrase. If the Clipper farce is accepted as "strong" encryption then the battle is lost; maybe something like "it is _international_ strong encryption because it is the strongest encryption people like Saddam Hussein [insert bogeyman du jour] want Americans to have access to"

Idea 1: It should be called "International Weakened Encryption." Idea 2: The "alliance" term above in the URL should be replaced with "Axis." Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
