Seen on the net: SAFE: Security And Freedom through Encryption Forum, July 1, 1996 ================================================================= For a national encryption policy that promotes commerce and protects privacy http://www.crypto.com/safe NOTE: Please register for and reserve your free ticket at http://www.crypto.com/safe/sign.html so you don't miss out! Space is limited! Save the Date! July 1, 1996 Stanford University, Stanford, California Event Information, Speakers, and Agenda On July 1, 1996 in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, members of Congress and prominent computer industry leaders and privacy advocates will meet to discuss the need to reform U.S. encryption policy. Encryption technologies, the "locks and keys" of the Information Age, are an essential component of a secure and trusted Global Information Infrastructure. Every day, millions of dollars in commercial transactions and the private communications of individuals traverse the global network. All are vulnerable to the prying eyes of industrial spies, hackers, and rogue foreign governments. Computer users need strong encryption technology to protect themselves online, and U.S. businesses need the ability to export strong encryption in order to build a secure Global Information Infrastructure. Yet current U.S. export controls and other limits on encryption technology are limiting the widespread availability of strong, easy-to-use privacy and security products. As a result, these policies are stifling the growth of electronic commerce, preventing computer users from protecting their privacy, and handicapping U.S. industry in the global marketplace. Until these cold war barriers are removed, the full potential of the Internet and the future of electronic commerce will never be realized. National and local press are encouraged to attend this high profile event.
