You are, of course, assuming that the reporting is correct in its implication that the defendants either admitted to having access to the keys, or that it has been proven that they do have the keys. I remember a lot of discussion at the time that the RIP bill was being pushed through about the difficulty of proving that you don't have access to a particular piece of information. The RIPA is a particularly nasty piece of legislation in this respect. -- David Smith | Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 Home: +44 (0)1454 616963 STMicroelectronics | Fax: +44 (0)1454 462305 Mobile: +44 (0)7932 642724 1000 Aztec West | TINA: 065 2380 GPG Key: 0xF13192F2 Almondsbury | Work Email: [email protected] BRISTOL, BS32 4SQ | Home Email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
