Government Journal for Friday, September 24th, 2001

I have been reading through slashdot lately, and I have been seeing a large quantity of articles about the new regulations that the government has been looking at.

Most Notorius of them is the Law requiring backdoors in security measures. The problems are that they wont use the encryption schemes and that the backdoors would be exploitable. If some cracker got access to the backdoor then he could read all of the work / purchases online and steal trade secrets.
