[CrackMonkey] [suse-security] 4 February 2000 IETF Excludes Wiretapping (fwd)

[Crack Monkey]

begin  George J.P. Perry quotation:
> The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has voted against
> incorporating wiretapping capabilities into the next generation of
> Internet protocols.  The IETF says that because it is an
> international standards organization, incorporating net wiretapping
> would subject the rest of the world to US law.  The IETF also
> expressed concerns that built-in net tapping capabilities hold the
> potential for abuse.

	Huzzah!

	I had a feeling that this would be the case, given that the
IETF used to be largely people from CERN and other European
organizations.
