Subj: Paranoid on Soapbox with Product Idea
The National Security Agency has proposed that ALL encryption be
done with devices designed by them, the internal workings of which will be
not be divulged. They apparently didn't like the public debate on the last
voluntary standard (for which SOME details were published), centering on
whether it had been designed to allow them to easily read "private"
communications. If this doesn't bother you, consider what your reaction would be
to the U.S. Postal service ( which already has a legal monopoly on carrying
mail) proposing that, for effiency, only it could provide envelopes and these
envelopes could only be sealed and opened by postal service employees.
