"Network Associates,
formerly McAfee,
developer of PGP, has quietly rejoined the Key
Recovery Alliance. Despite withdrawing from the
group last December amid pointed concerns over
the continued trustworthiness of PGP, NAI
apparently rejoined the Key Recovery Alliance
(KRA) three months later with their February
1998 acquisition of Trusted Information Systems,
a founding member of the KRA. The KRA's
major stated goal is creation of "a global
infrastructure that supports recovery of encrypted
information." NAI has sent me e-mail stating that
they might or might not remain in the KRA, that
"PGP products will not be affected," and that they
have "no interest in enabling key escrow for
government access." Network Associates is
presently listed on the KRA membership roster."
