The United States' ridiculous attempts at restricting
encryption technology suffered a major blow today when RSA
announced a new and wholly owned subsidiary based in
Australia and staffed entirely with non-Americans. Also
announced was RSA-Australia's first product - BSAGE SSL-C,
which is a development toolkit for creating SSL enable
applications.
Apparently, RSA has been in close contact with several unnamed government
agency and has created an organization that is completely legal and is sure to
scare the crap out of the NSA, CIA and a handful of other agencies that enjoy
reading our email for their jollies while drawing a nice big fat government
paycheck.
Hopefully, the United States Government will finally see how futile it is to
try and contain encryption technology and just accept the fact that the
encryption genie is out of the bottle and any attempts to restrict U.S.
software companies from using it will only put those corporations at a
competitive disadvantage.
