Scumbria,

Look, its real easy.

You simply embed it into every person using RF ID.

It could be easily implanted at low cost.

Hell they are doing it to cows for christsake.

If it went into every human being on the planet over time you would have billions of chips.

It should really help the Intel stock price.

Regards,

Kash

scAMDria - Re: "he problem with public key encryption lies in key escrow."

Once again, you are confused.

A straight forward public key/private key encryption system HAS NO KEY ESCROW.

A Key Escrow system can use public and private keys but THE ENCRYPTION SYSTEM HAS TO BE DESIGNED to use ALL THREE.
