Re: That's OK then -- Not The Master Key

"...the key to one room, not the 'master key of the hotel'"

Um, who's going to manage the keys? Is this going to be some kind of key escrow? Do they not understand that anybody can generate a key independent of such nanny-state management?

Clearly, these things are going to end up in the outlawing of various forms of encryption--along with any methods to hide it.

And, they'll also end up having to outlaw cryptographic research that isn't government sanctioned. Imagine having to get a license to learn.
