I have an idea, it's a whopper, or at least I think it is at the moment
:-), but I want to get some thoughts from people, first. I expect I'm
tipping my hand, but I'm going to ask this question here on these lists,
anyway.
So, folks...
If you had a bunch of *American* cryptographic engineers in one place,
people who wrote code for a paycheck, what could they do, sell, talk about,
etc., that they couldn't or wouldn't do, legally or otherwise, with foreign
nationals in the room?
Cheers,
Robert Hettinga
