To code or not to code is the dilemma facing commercial users of the Net.
Establishing the system is the hard one. Debate still rages in the US about
public encryption and who will be the third party to hold the cryptographic keys
in transactions between any two groups. But the British government is acting
very swiftly indeed, even though an election has taken up most of the few weeks
that remain for comments to reach the Department of Trade and Industry, stifling
any exchange of views. If you want an open debate, try “Can Trusted Third
Parties Be Trusted? A Public Debate on the UK DTI Crypto Proposal”, to be held
on 19 May 1997 in London, sponsored by Privacy International and the London
School of Economics. Contact: pi@privacy.org
