And so Seth, if I want to encrypt data, designs, or code from my company to
a colleague in Europe. How do I do that without sending them a copy of the
decryption software?
Or if I am requesting bids from foreign sources, how do they communicate
with me without encryption? We're talking big money here, sometimes in the
10's of millions of dollars.
The fact that US companies are not free to use encryption software puts
them at a distinct disadvantage, and makes them very vulnerable to
industrial espionage. Given that quite a bit of the technology involved has
cross purposes for defense, it actually makes our country more vulnerable
...not less.
