You mean a specific court order to forge documents? Hmm, never heard of such. As opposed to a gag order - which this will detect by the virtue of not appearing. Creating the documents ahead of time would defeat the measure. It's probably more vulnerable to covert coercion than to that. But then again, if devs are compromised in this way they may instead introduce more subtle backdoors or bugs. -- Radosław Szkodziński -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
