Can you elaborate on that a bit? I didn't see anything in RIPA that criminalizes open source encryption.
- mindslight 11y agoSorry, I meant that using Free software to keep secrets from the government (against a warrant) would eventually be criminalized in the US, after such norms have been established for easier to attack proprietary solutions. (Proprietary solutions can be attacked using commercial law to ban their manufacture, whereas USG seems to know it can't really prohibit the distribution of Free software).
