UK Government Wants a Backdoor Into Windows
Hello,
I just read the following on Slashdot a minute ago and thought I would shrare:
"The BBC is reporting that the British Government is working with Microsoft in order to gain backdoor access to hard drives encrypted by the forthcoming Windows Vista file system. Professor Anderson, professor of security engineering at Cambridge University, urged the Government to contact Microsoft over fears that evidence could be lost by suspects claiming to have forgotten their encryption key."
You can read the whole article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4713018.stm
I can't say I agree with this idea. However with the supposed upcoming improvements to Vista, I can see why they would want something like this to happen.
