#NSA #Backdoor Key from #Lotus-Notes (1997)

Before the US #crypto export regulations were finally disolved the export version of #Lotus Notes used to include a #keyescrow / backdoor feature called differential #cryptography. The idea was that they got permission to export 64 bit crypto if 24 of those bits were #encrypted for the NSA's public key
#privacy #encryption #publickey

@thatguyoverthere based off second sources, they can basically criminalize any services and systems that don't have #Govware #backdoors to allow #wiretapping and #KeyEscrow systems as well as charge people if they don't want to potentially self-inctiminate.

And even if that wasn't the case, the #PocketCrypto would literally fulfill their definition as in correctly setup encryption isn't attackable outside of brute-forcing passwords!
