I guess "officially sanction" are the operative words, as we have been doing this for YEARS, although PATRIOT could be considered an official sanction.. Still, the FBI has keylogged systems to get gpg keys, and the AV industry excludes "law enforcement" trojans from their AV detection signatures, according to some recent articles. -JP<who is sure someone here from the AV industry will back him up :-P > _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
