Mir ist krypto ziemlich egal, sollen sie doch meine Mails lesen, Meinungs-
bilder erstellen etc, wichtige Business mails sind nicht dabei. Anyway:
<<
Viktor Mayer-Schvnberger at the University of Vienna Law School, an
expert on international crypto policy, said that "if the US ups the
ante and brings in a sort of a quasi-diplomatic person to push
European countries further, I think we'll see tremendous
arm-twisting."
"It may backfire," says Mayer-Schvnberger. "The US put tremendous
pressure on Europe and that is going to increase if the US government
makes such a bold move as to appoint someone to do nothing but lobby
for key escrow." Many countries, he said, "have been very apprehensive
of the US coming in as the 'big guy' and telling the world what is
good and what is bad" regarding encryption.

Zu Viktor M-S faellt mir wieder ein, dass er mal die Geschichte weiter-
verbreitete, wonach die meisten Anonymous Remailer von irgendwelchen Diensten
betrieben werden. Ein Schelm..
Zu dem amerikanischen Plan, dass da ein Superkey vorgesehen ist, die USA
koennen dann alles mitlesen. VW etc werden sich das nie gefallen lassen.
Hoffe, das war auch fuer Rolf Weber verstaendlich,
Gruss,
