      Dieses erfüllt in Neu/fassung wieder/einmal den 
Lieblingswunsch gewisser Dienste, die gar so gern 
prinzipiell & überhaupt & jederzeit & automatisch Zugriff 
auf Ihre verschlüsselte Elektronik/Post haben wollen. 
Die Hauptarbeit an diesem nicht un/gewaltigen Global 
Internet Liberty Campaign Member Statement hat David 
Casacuberta von Fronteras Electronicas Espana getan. Die  
Haupt/aussagen: 
 
* beeinträchtigt den E-Commerce 
* verstösst gegen Lortad, das spanische Daten/schutzgesetz 
* eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten für Daten/kriminelle  
 
Bei den Unterfertigungen (c below) finden Sie uns ganz

New Spanish telecommunications law opens a door to mandatory 
key recovery systems 
 
Global Internet Liberty Campaign Member Statement, 13 July 
98 
 
A recently enacted telecommunications law in Spain gives a 
right to use "strong cryptography systems" to Spanish 
citizens. However, the new law also implies that some 
goverment agencies may have access to encrypted 
communications, by means of mandatory key recovery system in 
which private keys of Spanish citizens would be stored by 
the government agencies.  
 
Such a system would have several problems:  
 
1) Key recovery compromises privacy - a right incorporated 
within the Spanish data protection law, known as Lortad.  
2) Instead of enhancing crime detection, key recovery would 
increase the opportunities for crime.  
3) Key recovery poses a serious menace to the development of 
electronic commerce. 
These problems arise from a common source: Any cryptographic 
system that implies the existence of a third party that 
stores private keys is inherently insecure.
