Story: Government to force handover of encryption keys
Posted by: Nitin Mehra (Friday 19 May 2006, 12:51 AM)
The world is going bonkers over terrorist threats. The more paranoid the country the more curtailment of civic rights and privacy.
If countires like Britain would follow such course of action, its almost like moving backward rather than towards a more liberal and open society.
Moreover, I dont get it, how could this rule even apply to financial institutions to get there encryption code. It might be applied to an individual to get encryption code of a file on his machine. But asking the banks to do it is insane.
Its like locking up my vault as deposit the key in the police station :-)
