Subject: [Crypto-chi] Fwd: A government "golden key"to our communications?
Hey All,
EFF has a new petition out against key escrow (laws requiring that
encryption be breakable by the government). I encourage you to sign
it.
Thanks,

Dear
Joel,
It's a critical moment in the
global debate over privacy,
security, and "backdoors" in
encryption technology.
Certain members of Congress and the
FBI want to force companies to give
the government special access to our
data. They're pushing short-sighted
proposals, like giving the
government a "golden key" to unlock
our encrypted communications.
These are terrible ideas. It's not
possible to give the government
special access to our data without
creating vulnerabilities that could
be exploited by malicious actors and
other governments.
President Obama's senior advisors
are looking
into this issue right now. We
need to make sure they hear from
technology users like you.
We've launched a campaign through
the White House petition site
calling on the president to do the
right thing.
Obama has promised to respond to
any petition that gets 100,000
signatures. We launched less than a
week ago, and we already have over
30,000. Can
you help us get to 100,000?
Please
add your name now, and demand
strong, uncompromised encryption.
Fighting for a more secure digital
future,
Rainey Reitman
