Subject: [linux-security] UK Encryption ban legislation {from: [comp.risks] RISKS DIGEST 18.95}
I think this is an issue of serious interest to many of the subscribers
of these lists; it would effectively ban a lot of security-related tools
that many of use now find indispensable, e.g. ssh, pgp.

This is very worrying! I thought these things only happened in other
countries. How many people know of this - in fact this topic almost
deserves it's own mailing list! I'd be willing to host some kind of
list along this subject if anybody wants one?
Email me leigh@wisper.net and if I get enough replies i'll get a list
up and running.
