Thought that this was worth reposting:

>1 attended last weeks "Information, National Policies; and International >Infrastructure" Symposium at Harvard Law School, organized by the Global >Information Infrastructure Commission, the Kennedy School and the >Institute for Information Technology Law & Policy of Harvard Law School.

>During the presentation by Paul Strassmann, National Defense University >and William Marlow, Science Applications International Corporation, >entitled 'Anonymous Remailers as Risk-Free International Infoterrorists" >the questions was raised from audience (Professor Chaarles Nesson, >Harvard LAw School) - in a rather extended debate - whether the CIA and >similar government agencies are involved in running anonymous remailers >as this would be a perfect target to scan possibly illegal messages.

>Both presenters explicitly acknowledged that a number of anonymous >remailers in the US are run by government agencies scanning traffic. >Marlow said that the government runs at least a dozen remailers and that >the most popular remailers in France and Germany are run by the >respective government agencies in these countries In addition they >mentioned that the NSA has successfully developed Systems to break >encrypted messages below 1000 bit of key length and strongly suggested >to use at least 1024 bit keys. They said that they themselves use 1024 >bit keys.

>J ask Marlos afterwards if these comments were off or on record, he >paused then said that he can be quoted.

>So I thought I pass that on. ft seems interesting enough, don 't you > think?
