New PGP "Everything the FBI ever dreamed of"

[amp at pobox.com]

Though I hate the conmcept of key escrow, it actually makes sense for 
corporations to be able to have access to internal documents. Why they 
think having key escrow in place will stop people from being able to use 
other encryption as well is beyond me. I guess it's the same (stupid) 
mentality of the feds. They don't think anyone would be smart enough to use 
the escrowed encryption a a wrapper for the non-escrowed encryption.

An article in today's (Fri, Oct 3) New York Times (CyberTimes)
<http://www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/week/100397pgp.html>
describes the new release of "PGP for Business Security 5.5," which
contains mechanisms that incorporate key recovery mechanism that can either
be volontary or be enforced by using PGP's software for controlling a
company's SMTP server -- the server can verify that all encrypted messages
include the corporate public key (or conform to other corporate policies):
