UK: Ueberwachungs/gesetz & E-Kommerz


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Weil die britischen Dienste sich den Zugang zu den Private
Keys unbedingt offen halten wollen, wird der UK beim E-
Kommerz nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen. Voraus

Criminals - and businesses - could also use signals to
indicate to third parties if data keys have been compromised,
which would be illegal under the Bill but impossible to detect.

issue, agreed with Wheeler's assessment saying it proved
the Bill was unworkable. He said: "What this does is single
out the UK as a uniquely disadvantageous place to do
ecommerce."

A recent human rights audit, commissioned by FIPR
recommended that firms start using steganography to
conduct their business.
