"Shalom Shaphyr, arrested earlier this week for allegedly possessing and selling Tempest computer intercept equipment, planned to first falsify the nature of the equipment in export papers, ship it to a U.S. NATO ally, then to Israel, and finally to Vietnam."

-- Bill Pietrucha, TEMPEST Bust, July 9, 1999

"In Australia, it is the lack of the Constitutional protection of civil rights, which can be contrasted with that of the United States, which has resulted in the Wassenaar restrictions potentially having a profoundly larger impact in this country than in the US. Without protected freedom of speech, Australians cannot communicate information about cryptography, or cryptographic processes without running the risk of prosecution. Without the constitutional protection of the right to silence, it is not clear as to whether law enforcement agencies can force defendents to disclose cryptographic keys resulting in self-incrimination. And the accountability of Government in this area of law is dwindling through:

- The ASIO Legislation Amendment Bill 1999 allowing the Attorney-General to grant search warrants, removing judicial review of their necessity;

- The "untouchable" DSD working outside the scope of the Freedom of Information Act and judicial review;

- The Wassenaar Arrangement not being a treaty and hence cutting out any review by the legislature;

- The Weapons of Mass Destruction Act having the effect of a driftnet, catching anything slipping through the Customs Act;

- The suppression of reports aimed at bringing the issues surrounding cryptography into the public domain;

- The enforcement of the export controls by stealth - not prosecuting 'offenders' so as to avoid judicial interpretation of the provisions; and

- Putting up a wall of silence in front of anyone who starts asking questions, the author of this paper included.

The law in this area is posing a massive threat to the civil liberties of all Australians. Public awareness of the issues surrounding cryptography is extremely low, and publicity and debate are well overdue. If the Australian Government wants the trust of the people in the digital age, it must dramatically increase transparency and must take these issues to the public, rather than waiting until the public find them on dusty library shelves."

-- Nick Ellsmore, Cryptology: Law Enforcement & National Security vs. Privacy, Security & The Future of Commerce, July 4, 1999
