Great link for the Jim Bidzos article. I read it with interest. I liked the line, "It is interesting to note that the encryption issue is a rare case where both the National Rifle Association and the Civil Liberties Union are on the same side, opposed to any law that restricts an individual's use of encryption."

I, too, think the more encryption, the better. Let's say that walkie-talkies were a new invention and someone were to say, "We can't make them legal--Criminals might use them!" Of course, that's a bogus argument because a lot of "good guys" would use them, too. Same for encryption (IMO): Sure criminals would conduct business with safety, but so would a lot of non-criminal companies. And without heavy encryption, the good guy companies are, quite frankly, going to live in fear of techo-criminals who can break codes!

So the concept for JAWZ is great, I just don't know much about the company's prospects. Questions that come to mind:

1.) Do they have contracts lined up?
2.) Do folks on this thread have goals for where the price is going?
3.) How old is the company?
4.) What are the current earnings? (Is JAWZ profitable yet?)
5.) How many shares outstanding?
6.) How many shares in the float?

See, my DD is just beginning...

THe first paragraph of the RSA article seems to say that even encryption software that is USED in the USA must have the USA government "access-key"

If this is correct, then it wouldn't matter WHERE U.S. companies get their encryption stuff from, we Americans would be sunk.
