Bus driver complaint and OYBike

Mon, 25 Oct 2004, David Hansen remarked: On Mon, 25 Oct 2004 13:11:43 +0100 someone who may be Clive Coleman wrote this:- I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000. Could you explain this a bit more please? 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. I fear you are conflating the powers to intercept communications, and that to demand a key if they turn out to be encrypted. In the former case, if your communications are being read, you won't normally know, but if you find out there's no ban on telling the world. However, if (when put in force) you are required to reveal a key that might allow encryption of intercepted (or seized) keys, you can be prosecuted for tipping off your friends. 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. This is a long-proposed work around, but until the Code of Practice for that part of the Act appears, it's a little rash to assume it will work as advertised. -- Roland Perry |
