There seems to be no discussion of the opposing viewpoint - the reasons behind requiring key escrow etc (Gwinkless 10:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Social vs Technical

This article seems to have been written with a basis in data security owing to its content (ie "national security") not its function. Key escrow is simply a concept whereby a trusted third party is given decryption keys and there is a situation where these keys are released. This is used in some email system for example. The encryption of data does not imply the value of its contents, nor should this article imply such User A1 04:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
