IP: just a thought on a cloudy day for the coming year

[David Farber <farber@central.cis.upenn.edu>]

Given the past history of this nation during elections --
such a watergate etc, and given the increased use of the
network to carry on politcal processes and coordination and
given the difficulty of denying forged email, I wonder
whether one of the best customers for PEM mail systems and
PGP security will not be the very politicians that are
attempting to outlaw good cryptography. Bet they would use
as strong a key as they can reasonably find.
