Kicking off a two day conference on Internet commerce, the German
minister of Economics Guenter Rexrodt today called for no restrictions on
crypto. The stance by Germany at the conference, which is being
attended by 40 other ministers from the European Union, the U.S., Russia,
Japan and Canada, flies in the face of U.S. efforts to keep crypto on a
tight leash.
According to his prepared remarks, Rexrodt says: "Users can only protect
themselves against having data manipulated, destroyed or spied on through
the use of strong encryption procedures That is why we have to use all of
our powers to promote such procedures instead of blocking them."
