"Front door" access is an Orwellian rebranding of what they want: key escrow. All that rebranding of front door or back door is just public relations. <br><br>Multi sig keys (like one shared with the NSA and another shared with a benevolent three letter agency -- maybe the FBI) is a blatant lie. Three letter agencies "launder" tips they received and share them with each other and keep it out of court records (so called parallel construction. <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/04/07/dea-bulk-telephone-surveillance-operation/70808616/">http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/04/07/dea-bulk-telephone-surveillance-operation/70808616/</a>). There is no reason to trust these proposals. (Here's a prediction, the NSA will just steal the keys they don't have).<br><br>Anyways nobody should listen to these guys or take their ideas seriously. <br><br>Freddy<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 12:26 PM joe fuentes <<a href="mailto:joseph.fuentes@live.com">joseph.fuentes@live.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
