Re: THE WHITE HOUSE: Briefing on encryption ( X-files ?? )
What is the URL for the web site mentioned here? Thanks, DSC
UNDER SECRETARY REINSCH: I think the simplest way to respond to that right now is we'll have a definition in the reg that will be very clear as to what the criteria are for qualification. And those definitions have already been dealt with and agreed to, so we should have them up on the web site this afternoon.

Lordgrey asks for a BXA URL: BXA info on the new crypto policy: http://www.bxa.doc.gov/whatsnew.htm http://207.96.11.93/Encryption/Default.htm The only info there not issued by the White House is a list of the 45 countries who get favorable treatment. CDT says the implementation regs are due to be issued by BXA sometime in October, and to watch out: "the devil is in the details." In the meantime the 11 corporations who announced support for the new policy will continue hemming, hawing and heeding threat of license delay: Here they are: Ascend, Cisco Systems, 3Com, Hewlett-Packard Company, Intel, Netscape Communications, Network Associates, Novell, RedCreek Communications, Secure Computing, Sun Microsystems. One bit of sunshine, though, is Germany has announced that it will lead a Euro attack on US crypto export limits because they harm economic security: http://jya.com/cn091898.htm
