Re: Crypto Law Survey
Thank you for your useful survey. May I make two comments about
the US section? First, many lawyers believe the ITAR to be
unconstitutional as applied to some or all cryptographic
algorithims and software; a court test is likely within the next
few years. Second, the American Bar Association Section on
Science and Technology's Information Security Committee is
drafting Guidelines and Model Legislation which, if they are
ever completed, will improve upon the Utah initiative.
Meanwhile, other states, including California, are considering
bills that are similar to Utah's.
