Re: Morality masks technical ignorance
Responding to msg by Adam Shostack ( when bad things happen to
good crypto):
The technical reason to oppose GAK is that it adds points of
failure to a crypto system which need not be there. Those POF
are not adequately tied to the consequences of their actions
(releasing a key
improperly), and as such will be used as points to attack the
integrity of the system.
...............................................................
And if there were no points of failure added by it, would you
approve, agree, to its mandatory requirement?
