Story: Government to force handover of encryption keys
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 18 May 2006, 2:16 PM)
The governments viewpoint that the threat of a few years imprisonment would to force a terrorist, paedophile or criminal to reveal their software encryption keys when the encrypted evidence on their PC's would probably put them away for 20 years is extremely naive. This law - just like many others this government has introduced - would be expensive and almost impossible to enforce. Better to spend the money employing the expertise to de-code the systems which can be seized legitimately through existing laws.
