Krypto: US vor Lockerung der Exportkontrollen


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Anscheinend plant die Administration Clinton eine signifikante
Lockerung der Krypto/exportkontrollen. Bis jetzt sind die
Voraussagen Stewart Bakers, Ex-Berater der NSA und eine der
Schlüsselfiguren im Security Advisory Council der Regierung, noch
immer eingetroffen.

The planned changes come on the heels of a report from a special
presidential advisory committee recommending the White House
abandon nearly all export controls on software that protects Internet
communications.

William Reinsch, the Undersecretary of Commerce and President
Clinton's point man on encryption policy, declined to comment on the
upcoming announcement or the advisory committee's report, which
has not been made public. But he said the Administration's new
policy would be announced by September 16. The changes, he said,
are the "result of our own policy review," although he did
acknowledge that the advisory commission report "was valuable input
into that."

In June, the President's Export Council Subcommittee on Encryption
sent the White House a report recommending the Administration
loosen its restrictions on encryption technology to allow for the
export of consumer products based on a 128-bit key. That is
significantly stronger than the current limit on encryption products
exempt from control.

White House and Commerce Department officials are keeping quiet
about how far the policy changes will go. But if the changes reflect
recommendations made in the advisory panel's report, it would move
the Administration much closer to ending its years-long battle with
the high-tech industry. Technology executives say they are losing
their lead to companies in countries without export restrictions.

The Administration has resisted calls to eliminate the restrictions
because of strong opposition from the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and other law enforcement agencies. Those groups have been
pushing tying any easing of export restrictions to mandates that
software developers develop "spare keys" so law officers can easily
unlock scrambled data and communications when they suspect a
crime is being committed.

Stewart Baker, a member of the advisory panel and former counsel to
the National Security Agency, characterized the committee's report
as "the most sweeping set of liberalizations that have ever been
recommended by a government advisory body."
