House Commerce Subcommittee Rejects Domestic Controls On Crypto - The House Subcommittee on Telecommunications voted against an amendment to the SAFE bill (H.R. 850) that would have guaranteed the government access to the plaintext of any encrypted communication or computer file. The amendment would have, for the first time ever, imposed domestic controls on encryption in the U.S. The Committee instead voted to adopt amendments similar to those approved in the last Congress, including a provision for a Net Center to provide high-tech support to law enforcement.
