Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2000 | ISBN-10: 1893044076 | ISBN-13: 978-1893044074

In Cryptography and Liberty 2000, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)'s third survey of encryption policy around the globe, EPIC finds that the effort to reduce export regulations that limit the availability of encryption has largely succeeded. The rise of electronic commerce and the need to protect privacy and increase the security of the Internet have resulted in the development of policies that favor the spread of strong encryption worldwide. However, while the impact of export controls on the use and production of encryption continues to diminish, new domestic regulations and new powers for law enforcement authorities raise ongoing questions about the freedom to use encryption and other privacy enhancing techniques.
