cryptography -- The Cryptography and Cryptography Policy Mailing List
About cryptography	English (USA)
"Cryptography" is a low-noise moderated mailing list devoted to cryptographic technology and its political impact. Occasionally, the moderator allows the topic to veer more generally into security and privacy technology and its impact, but this is rare. WHAT TOPICS ARE APPROPRIATE: "On topic" discussion includes technical aspects of cryptosystems, social repercussions of cryptosystems, and the politics of cryptography such as export controls or laws restricting cryptography. Discussions unrelated to cryptography are considered off topic. Please try to keep your postings on topic. MODERATION POLICY: In order to keep the signal to noise ratio high, the mailing list is moderated. The moderator does not forward off topic messages, messages that have substantially the same content as earlier messages, etc. Please not that the moderator does not always have the time to send an explanation of why a message was not forwarded. PLEASE NOTE: You must post from an address that is subscribed to the mailing list. If you wish to post from other addresses, please send mail to the moderator so special arrangements can be made. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the cryptography Archives.
