The really interesting thing about this is that Germany does not seem to
demand that a criminal suspect decrypt anything, even with a
warrant/subpoena. Neither does Germany make use of crypto a separate
criminal offense when used to evade prosecution for a more traditional
crime. Is there some point of German law that already covers this?
If not, then Germany is clearly distinguished from France (who does require
decryption on court order), and I believe all of the proposed
liberalizations of U.S. law presently in Congress.
Who would have thought that ECHELON would turn out to be a program to
