While public housing projects may not be on the CP agenda, the confict between a mob-like majority willing, in order 'to reduce crime,' to impinge on the rights of minorities with different opinions is *definitely* something to discuss here. If enough criminals start using PGP, there may well be similar pressure in favour of Clipper.

I would suggest that this topic is not appropriate here. I'm sure its appropriate -- in other places -- but if we do not focus on cryptography, many people will be forced to leave this mailing list and the quality will degrade. ObCrypto: When implementing D-H for key exchange followed by conventional crypto on an interactive link, remember that you likely have large amounts of key material lying around. Switch keys every few seconds using that surplus material, and exchange new keys using D-H all the time in the background. Makes the life of the guy listening in ever so much fun -- breaking one conventional key just means a few seconds of link have been compromised. Perry
