with the changes in US export regulations since January, 2000.

Much as I dislike government intrusion, I sure would like to have a
device with a button that says "call help and *tell them where I am*"
The question is if the device will tell them *only* when I press the
button.

Nobody's mentioned the possibility of an encryption system which

one to retrieves the first (real) document, and the second one which

Since the state is, in a world of ubiquitous networks and financial

But a special-case break, say in circumstances where the input entropy is

Ouch. Seems somebody is busy making certain that one won't be able to use
standard US distributions of these implementations much longer to trivially
implement the secure protocols by adding a wrapper. This is very bad news,
indeed.

Do you imply having a machine with PCR's for some unique string in the

It seems to me that you could use the DNA encodings for common words like
