**Encryption Intrigue on the International Stage**
featuring Patrick Ball, American Association for the Advancement of Science;
David Banisar, Electronic Privacy Information Center
The export controls and key recovery mandates the Clinton administration
maintains on encryption technology cannot succeed unless they are adopted by
virtually every country in the world. Is this likely to happen, and should
it? David Banisar, newly returned from the United Kingdom, will update us on
foreign government's views on U.S. encryption controls. Patrick Ball of the
AAAS's Science and Human Rights Program will describe how human rights
workers in countries such as Guatemala, South Africa, China, Russia, and
Haiti would be affected by encryption technology that did not protect them
from the police.
