Ronald L. Rivest has written a paper called Chaffing and Winnowing: Confidentiality without Encryption which proposes ways to legally circumvent the proposed key escrow legislations His techniques also make reasonable the multiple decryption targets that we've all seen discussed, so that a document can be decoded to multiple targets. This could give a person plausible deniability: "Sure, here's the key", while maintaining the real key separately. The universe treats government intervention as damage and evolves around it.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
