Les USA n'ont pas finis d'augmenter la surveillance electronique.
Je pense même que ça va empirer.

" .... Autant de tactiques qui risquent de remettre en cause ces fameux programmes à double clé qui
permettent aux internautes de protéger leur cyber vie privée, et qui ont souvent été développés par
des organisations de protection de la "privacy".
Gageons que dans les semaines et les mois qui viennent, les services secrets américains, sous
pression, vont revenir à la charge pour obtenir sinon l'interdiction de tels programmes de cryptographie, au moins l'obligation de détenir une "copie" de toutes les clés publiques de cryptage disponibles sur le marché.

If you thought the DMCA was bad... just wait until the SSSCA takes effect. The Security Systems Standards and Certification
Act is an impressive bit of big-brotherism currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate. The core of this proposed law is this
text: It is unlawful to manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide or otherwise traffic in any interactive digital device
that does not include and utilize certified security technologies that adhere to the security systems standards adopted
under section 104.
The definition of a "digital device" is just as broad as it sounds - essentially, anything - hardware or software - that is capable of
moving and storing bits.
In particular, a computer running Linux is certainly such a digital device, as is Linux itself or any of a number of other free
programs. The "security standards" mentioned are to be developed in the future; one can, without too much trouble, imagine that
these standards to not specify "source available so that the security systems can be changed."
