Re: Scientology/Wollersheim as test case for key disclosure
One solution to this problem would be to modify PGP so that the session key for
the document was released rather than the passphrase for the public key. The
former would provide only read access, the latter would allow th scientologists
to forge Wollerstein's signature on other material. In addition many of the
documents may be subject to privillege.
I would have thought that there would be grounds to oppose the court action in
any case on various grounds, not least the previous judgement which the
Scientologists lost and have failed to pay the damages awarded. There might also
be grounds to oppose disclosure if the case was brought in order to obtain
secret material rather than for legitimate purposes.
In the UK the judge can be asked to review documents and decide whether they
should be made avaliable.
Surely the disclosure laws would work in wollerstein's favour in any case. He
can request disclosure of internal Scientology material.
