Event Information, Speakers, and Agenda
On July 1, 1996 in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, members
of Congress and prominent computer industry leaders and privacy
advocates will meet to discuss the need to reform U.S. encryption
policy.
Encryption technologies, the "locks and keys" of the Information Age,
are an essential component of a secure and trusted Global Information
Infrastructure. Every day, millions of dollars in commercial
transactions and the private communications of individuals traverse
the global network. All are vulnerable to the prying eyes of
industrial spies, hackers, and rogue foreign governments.
Computer users need strong encryption technology to protect themselves
online, and U.S. businesses need the ability to export strong
encryption in order to build a secure Global Information
Infrastructure.
Yet current U.S. export controls and other limits on encryption
technology are limiting the widespread availability of strong,
easy-to-use privacy and security products. As a result, these policies
are stifling the growth of electronic commerce, preventing computer
users from protecting their privacy, and handicapping U.S. industry in
the global marketplace. Until these cold war barriers are removed, the
full potential of the Internet and the future of electronic commerce
will never be realized.
National and local press are encouraged to attend this high profile
event. For more information, please contact Danielle Kolb or Alan
Davidson at the Center for Democracy and Technology, +1 202 637 9800.
