Can someone please tell me why a electronc copy was not online at release time. djf From: Elaine Frye <elaine.frye () nist gov> Subject: draft key escrow paper May 20, 1996 Note To: Key Escrow Distribution List From: Ed Roback, NIST Subject: Release of DRAFT Key Escrow Paper FYI, today the Interagency Working Group (IWG) on Cryptography Policy released a DRAFT paper entitled "Enabling Privacy, Commerce, Security and Public Safety in the Global Information Infrastructure." The DRAFT paper discusses a voluntary draft key management infrastructure, supported by private sector key management organizations, that would permit users and manufacturers free choice of encryption algorithms, facilitate international interoperability, preserve law enforcement access, and, most importantly, provide strong system security and integrity. FYI, the paper was released by the IWG co-chairs Ed Appel (NSC) and Bruce McConnell (OMB). Comments on the draft paper are being solicited. No deadline is specified. At present, I do not have an electronic copy of the draft (25 pp). Copies are available through the OMB publications office at 202-395-7332. I anticipate that the document will soon be available widely on the net and will forward you a web address when available. ***************************************************** Elaine Frye Computer Security Division National Institute of Standards and Technology Bldg. 820, M.S.
