Mr. Baker will discuss the details of the Clinton Administration's latest
encryption policy, which seeks to encourage "key recovery" encryption by
offering special export privileges to companies that support key-recovery
systems. He will also discuss the reaction of American high-tech
companies, foreign governments and consumers.
Mr. Baker, formerly General Counsel of the National Security Agency, has an
international and technology practice at Steptoe & Johnson in Washington,
DC. He is a frequent contributor to WIRED and other publications on topics
such as encryption, national security and Internet law.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on

Harvard Club of Boston, One Federal Street. The price for lunch is
$27.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, and the speaker's lunch.

and "appropriate business attire" for women.
We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio
format at some future date

out.
