Re: German Key Usage

[-=jack=- <hart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why would you ever escrow any signature key? I personally have never heard of
any proposal/plan/law/etc to escrow signature keys. My understanding of why
the
US Government and law enforcement want key escrow is to decrypt
information, not
to be able to regenerate a signature.

Plus, to allow escrow of sig keys is to invite abuses on such a
grand scale as to make all attempts at 'secure transaction' a moot
silly idea.  IMHO, there should *never* be any escrow of sig keys
or of anything else that could enable one to impersonate another...

of course I'll be damned if I'll use an escrowed key to encrypt anything
either, ;-), but hey, I want my privacy damnit, and no ballyhoo about
drugs/terrorists/kiddie porn makes that worth sacrificing.  Of *course*
this is just my opinion...!
