The Escrowed Encryption Standard: The Clipper Chip and Civil Liberties.

Diamond, Ted

Internet Research, v4 n3 p2-8 Fall 1994

The federal Escrowed Encryption Standard (EES) has been opposed by civil liberties advocates and the computer industry. The author argues that the standard does not threaten privacy as long as its use remains voluntary, alternative forms of encryption are allowed, and the power of government to intercept transmission is kept in check.
