Key Recovery: PGP ruiniert Reputation-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Associates International (NAI) der sogenannten "Key Recovery Alliance" beigetreten, die man im vergangenen Dezember verlassen hatte, um den guten Ruf des NAI- Markenzeichens "Pretty Good Privacy" als sicheres Programm zu schützen. Alle "key recovery" Programme enthalten die von Geheimdiensten und Militärs geforderte Hintertür. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- 12:27 p.m. 12.Nov.98.PST Computer-security giant Network Associates Inc. has quietly rejoined a global coalition promoting a controversial technology that could give the US government access to encrypted data. Network Associates, which owns cryptography software firm PGP and firewall vendor Trusted Information Systems, dropped out of the Key Recovery Alliance last December to protect the PGP brand, which some civil-liberties advocates say was tainted by its association with the alliance. .... "We would assume that the acquisition of Trusted Information Systems would be a contributing factor with the change of that policy," said David Sobel of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "TIS is widely regarded as the originator of the whole concept of key escrow," Sobel said. Several executives are former employees of the National Security Agency, which is believed to be a prime advocate of key recovery in Washington. .... Civil liberties advocates dislike key recovery because they feel it is the start of a slippery slope toward so-called mandatory key recovery, which would give the government access to private data. While the Key Recovery Alliance says it is not a political action committee or lobbying group, the group is often held up by politicians as an example of industry support for the administration's policy. .... An attorney with the Center for Democracy and Technology said that Network Associates opposes mandatory key recovery, but that the company may be hedging its bets against future shifts in Administration policy. ... ynn McNulty, director of government affairs for RSA Data Security, said the company is likely not expecting negative political fallout, one year after the PGP acquisition. ... full story http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/16219.htm l relayed by Jay D.
