Cryptozilla Entwickler geraten unter Druck-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Cryptozilla Entwickler geraten unter Druck Wenn ein Team von Programmierern den frei erhältlichen Communicator mit dem Mozilla-mailer ebenso frei erhältlicher Krypto/Software so kombiniert, dass sichere Verschlüsselung für jeden User mit einem Mausklick möglich ist - dann ist damit der Alptraum von mehr als einer Regierung dieser Welt ziemlich genau beschrieben. Australiens Regierung setzt jetzt die Cryptozilla Entwickler Eric Young & Tim Hudosn unter Druck. Sie sei halt auch nicht immun gegen Krypto-Stupidität meint Greg Taylor von Electronic Frontiers Australia. .-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- An article in Australia's LAN Magazine June 98 issue reveals some amazing intrigue concerning Australia's crypto export regulations. Officials from the Department of Defence who are responsible for administering export licenses have spoken publicly for the first time. Unfortunately what they have to say is bad news for Australia's crypto developers, in particular Eric Young and Tim Hudson, the people behind SSLeay <www.cryptsoft.com> and Cryptozilla <www.cryptozilla.org>. Much of their work has been done at no commercial gain yet they are now under the scrutiny of officialdom for making their software freely available on an Australian website, even though it seems very unlikely that they have infringed current laws. Australian export controls are administered through the Customs Act, which refers to physical goods and export via ships and aircraft. The legislation has yet to catch up with the information age. Suggestions have even been made that the Weapons of Mass Destruction Act might be an appropriate avenue for prosecution! Oh to have that on one's CV <g>. Anonymous has now posted the two main articles to John Young's website, so that the rest of the world can see that Australia is not immune from crypto-stupidity: http://jya.com/oz-crypto.htm relayed Sun, 28 Jun 1998 23:57:11 +1000 by Greg Taylor <gtaylor@efa.org.au> .-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- TIP Download free PGP 5.5.3i (Win95/NT & Mac) from Arge Daten http://keyserver.ad.or.at/pgp/download/ -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1998-06-29 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
