cr> Encryption, etc.

1996-03-05

Pointers from moderator:

A group of U.S. Senators have introduce a bill designed to loosen the
restrictions on exporting encryption.  This bill would make it easier
for computer and networking software to include encryption--but there
are compromises with the Clipper chip plan and other concessions.  If
you'd like to see newsletters from EFF, VTW, and CDT examining the
bill, email me.

Also, a member of the list sent a long post-mortem of the Decency Act
and why it passed.  The article has some good lessons, email me if you
want it.
