- cfp2_crypto.transcript
- File containing March 1992 transcript of "Who Holds
The Keys" discussing cryptography and its implications as well
as to what extent should the government actually have
control over the technology and our use of the technology and so
forth. Panel includes Dorothy Denning (Georgetown University) Jim
Bidzos (RSA Data Security), David Bellin (Pratt Institute), John Gilmore
(Cygnus Support [Now also with EFF]), Whitfield Diffie (SunSoft, Inc.)
and John Perry Barlow (Electronic Frontier Foundation).
- cfp4_crypto.transcript
- File containing transcript of "Data Encryption:
Who Holds the Keys" session of the Fourth Conference on Computers,
Freedom and Privacy in March of 1994. Bob Smith, publisher of Privacy
Journal, chaired the panel of George Davida, cryptography researcher
at the University of Wisconsin, Stuart Baker, general counsel at NSA, and
David Banisar of the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility.
Issues discussed include government infringement on privacy, the
Clipper Chip, and other matters relating to cryptography.
