Story: Police want power to seize encryption keys
Posted by: Graeme Wearden (Tuesday 15 August 2006, 7:39 PM)
Hi Ron,
That's an interesting point, thanks. We'd taken the view that it was correct to use 'encryption keys' as a general term. As you point out, in cases where someone has used a different key to encrypt and decrypt data, the police would want the private key rather than the public one.
I'm going to ponder this - we may change our style overnight :)
Cheers
Graeme
