ummm anyone remember Crypto AG...? no? heres a refresher...

go to wikipedia and read the Crypto_AG page.

Do they mean by "helping" its a spin word for fundamentally undermining cryptography standards.

I dont care i spent 5 years on code to devolve an encrypted data stream to 2 different crytographic outputs... one being my data and the other being my mums peanut pie recipe. I think we know which crypto key I'll be handing over if they come knocking... and if they do i'll up it to somewhere popular for everyone to share. Oops so much for that much vaunted RIPA act people keep quoting...
