KRAP is at it in the IETF
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hello,
It has come to my attention that the KRAP (key recovery alliance program)
has submitted an I-D (internet draft) to the IETF for adding GAK
(government access to keys) to the IPSEC protocols:
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rfced-exp-markham-00.txt
ISAKMP Key Recovery Extensions
<draft-rfced-exp-markham-00.txt>

I consider this a perversion of the standards process of the IETF to
advance a political agenda which must be stopped at all cost.
Below are the e-mail addresses of some people that you should write
(politely) expressing your objections to any such additions to the
protocols:
IPSEC Chairs:
Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]>
Robert Moskowitz <[email protected]>
Security Area Directors:
Jeffrey Schiller <[email protected]>
Marcus Leech <[email protected]>
As I mentioned before, be polite. These people are not the ones proposing
GAK be added to the IPSEC protocols. They have put a lot of time and
effort in forwarding the cause for strong encryption. They should be made
aware of the communities objections to these attempts by KRAP.
Thanks,
