BXA published yesterday its guidelines for getting approval as a Key Recovery Agent: http://jya.com/bxa-kraguide.htm The House Select Committee on Intelligence "has concluded that very large changes in the National Security Agency's culture and method of operations need to take place ... and that NSA will not meet its Unified Cryptologic Architecture (UCA) goals without tackling head-on some very fundamental internal obstacles." Even so, as others earlier noted here, the Committee has ruled out lifting encryption export controls. http://jya.com/ciise.htm
