"The Cryptography Wars." Op-Ed By Kenneth W. Dam and
Herbert S. Lin
In a June 10 editorial The Post disagreed with the NRC
report, suggesting that law enforcement and national
security interests require that current restrictions on
cryptography be maintained. The Post asserted that it is
"too soon" to accept that encryption can help law
enforcement and national security.
But arguing that it is premature to believe some uses of
encryption do benefit law enforcement and national
security simply denies reality. We emphatically reject
The Post's implication that we "sacrificed" law
enforcement and national security considerations in
favor of economic interests. Indeed, only a fully open
and inclusive public discussion can lead to the national
consensus upon which any successful cryptography policy
will depend.
