Yes and no. A compromise was reached on export restrictions to deflect a lot of the push back, but strong encryption is still subject to review. This gives the government control over what goes into commercial products. I would expect that reasonably strong end to end encryption could be added to cell phones for little incremental increase in cost for each phone (not including the cost of the software development). I don't expect to see this on normal cell phones any time soon as law enforcement isn't going to want that. Some of the open source phones might start doing this and it will be interesting to see what the reaction is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
