Later, at an IETF meeting where votes were taken for IPv6 encryption inclusion, Fore System's Brian Rosen brazenly claimed that regardless of any encryption inclusion, Fore systems would proceed by including back doors into any included encryption technology. But the harrassment of the IETF doesn't stop there. .. We learned that William Allen Simpson, a Detroit-based computer consultant who was on the IETF staff, has been investigated by the federal government for treason charges. Simpson was the person that argued loudly for encryption to be included in the PPP protocol when it was still in design phases. That push landed Simpson in hot whatever with federal officials. Simpson learned through friends that he was under investigation for treason -- the FBI had been interviewing his friends and associates. Simpson obtained 54 pages of documents from the government under the Freedom of Information act, .. Simpson did learn that the FBI had accused him of "challenging authority and laws that may impinge upon his activities." Wait a second! Isn't that part of what the Constitution is all about--the means to peacefully object to the laws of the land? .. The IETF is an open public standards body that conducts its business in clear public view. They help stear standards that better ensure compatibility and interoperability. So why would the FBI investigate an IETF member just because that person suggested in a public meeting that strong encryption be included in a standard wide-spread protocol such as PPP?
