Several people have asked me to post this for those who do not get Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery. So here it is, reprinted with permission from Communications of the ACM, September 1993, volume 36, number 9.
I would like to (firstly) extend my personal thanks to you for posting the article in sci.crypt, and (secondly) for expressing your opposition to the "key-escrow" initiative. I, and I am sure many others, appreciate your viewpoints on the entire fiasco and stand alongside you in opposition of this threat to personal freedom and privacy in the dawning new age of information. Your paper is well-written and presents the facts in a succint and indisputable fashion. I look forward to the seeing the issue in print, and any counter-point articles which may also appear in this issue.
