                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."
