I doubt there will be problems with internat. South Africa is not part of this, and is not likely to be, considering our good diplomatic relations with China, Libya, Cuba and sometimes even Iraq. To the South African's on the list: Anyone have any ideas on the best way to get encryption enshrined as a constitutional right? Better to be proactive than reactive. I'm sure some argument about the need for individuals to protect themselves, to prevent an recurrence of the horrors of the past, would go some way. Also might be a good idea to begin fighting for making key escrow by foreign countries illegal. I don't want Verisign, or whoever, to ever be able to give my secret keys to the US government.
