UK Government Wants a Backdoor Into Windows

 
--- Quote ---[0]REBloomfield writes "The BBC is reporting that the British Government
is working with Microsoft in order to [1]gain backdoor access to hard
drives encrypted by the forthcoming Windows Vista file system. Professor
Anderson, professor of security engineering at Cambridge University,
urged the Government to contact Microsoft over fears that evidence could
be lost by suspects claiming to have forgotten their encryption key."
