I can't find a reference to PGP keys in the act you cite. As Roland said, it is more general. The Home Office came up with a way of oppressing people, called RIP and pushed it through the Westminster rogues gallery. If some bod decides to impose a gaging order then a victim of this "law" cannot tell their lover, religious advisor or anyone else that their communications are being read by some official. However, it is possible to revoke the key and this is (supposedly) not telling one's lover, religious advisor and so on what is happening. Therefore it is elementary to state that one will always explain a revoked key to anyone who asks, unless the UK government is preventing one from doing so with RIP. As Roland said, this particular bit of RIP has yet to be turned on. If the Home Office have any sense it never will be and they will let it curl up before it is exterminated by a law that regulates investigatory powers (something RIP singularly fails to do). I doubt if my pointing out the Home Office's stupidity has had any influence on them not turning on this part of RIP, which they were very keen on at the time. However, it cannot have done any harm. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh | PGP email preferred-key number F566DA0E I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
