[Crypto-chi] NSA wants front door access to our crypto

[joe fuentes]

hello All,
Looks like those dastardly fellows at the NSA are up to their old antics again.  Seems like our crypto is getting too good for them. This time they are proposing a "solution" that will give them undeniable access to all communications between 2 entities.  It concerns a master key which can unlock any device. Even the NIST under the aegis of the US Dept of Commerce thinks it's a bad idea.  Me too! I think it's no good.  Here read all about it.  In the meantime, let's keep protecting our privacy with strong crypto.
Any thoughts on this?
