The current UK effort is why we also need "Perfect Forward Secrecy In
Everything";
it's hard to force someone to turn over their decryption keys when their
equipment doesn't store them past a session, and it's easier to argue that
you shouldn't be required to turn over a signature key that can only be
used for forgery
than a decryption key which could reveal past session keys.
