The new spy centre will decode messages that have been encrypted. Under new powers due to come into force this summer, police will be able to require individuals and companies to hand over computer "keys", special codes that unlock scrambled messages. Sorry officer...I can't seem to remember my passphrase :) I wonder if this will prompt people who care in the UK to frequently revoke/destroy/recreate their PGP keys. Otherwise, if forced to hand over your private key, they can read any old message they've archived on you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________ spy Legion of Doom FBI Treasury [Hello to all my fans in domestic surveillance] Noriega supercomputer BATF jihad Uzi counter-intelligence Ortega cryptographic South Africa Khaddafi
