hearing on "Privacy in the Digital Age: Encryption and Mandatory Access" March 17, 1998 On March 17, 1998 the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Constitution, Federalism and Property Rights, chaired by Senator John Ashcroft (R-MO), held a hearing to look at Constitutional interests in protecting privacy, as well as the Constitutional problems raised by government restrictions on encryption. The hearing focused on the government's desire for access to computer codes used to protect e-mail and other electronic communication, and its effort to impose limits on the power of computer software used to protect data transmissions. The hearing was cybercast live on the Internet, and archived here so you can listen and watch it.
