Question #1 to the community regarding National Cryptography Policy
As many of you know, the National Research Council is
undertaking a study of national cryptography policy
(description available on request to CRYPTO at NAS.EDU).
This note is the first of a number of questions that will
be posted to the Internet community in our attempt to solicit
input on a broad scale. Please circulate this request to anyone
that you think might be able to contribute.
The question of this posting is the following:
How, if at all, do capabilities enabled by new and emerging
technology in telecommunications (e.g., key-escrow
encryption technologies, digital telephony) and electronic
networking make it _easier_ for those who control that
technology to compromise and/or protect the interests of
individual end users? Please use as the standard of
comparison the ease _today_ of compromising or
protecting these interests. We are interested in
scenarios in which these interests might be compromised
or protected both individually and on a large scale. Please
be sure to tell us the interests you believe are at stake.
Please send your comments on this question
to CRYPTO at NAS.EDU.
