content: TPP and Crypto Stewart Baker of The Volokh Conspiracy has an interesting article about TPP and Crypto.  Pertinent bit being: In an annex to a chapter on Technical Barriers to Trade, the trade deal specifies that no government may require any company to provide cryptographic keys to its products.  going on to say The only exceptions are for products or networks that actually belong to the government and for “supervisory, investigatory or examination [measures] relating to financial institutions or markets.” Generally, Baker is a government shill who has fully supported expanding government intrusion into other peoples' data, so I expect he considers this A Bad Thing. I tend to disagree.
