No national security will be protected if I give up my property to an escrow agent. That has been proven wrong time and again. If anything, I would elect to work in the open rather than turn over data that will end up anywhere the politics and money tak es it. They are not going to simply give up the keys to their computers no matter what legal reassurances you give or write. They just will get stolen or abused anyway.
Events have pr oven that statement to be a truth.
No CEO who wishes to keep his job will sign onto this silly proposal. The idea of escrowed keys is both foolish and dangerous. It is by definition unsecured. A secret message which would change history. Those who oppose encryption are standing in the path of history, standing in the p ath of Paul Revere.
