Oh Valdis, you ask for far too much! :) “Encryption” means the use of any protective or disruptive measure, including, without limitation, cryptography, enciphering, encoding or a computer contaminant, to: 1. Prevent, impede, delay or disrupt access to any data, information, image, program, signal or sound; 2. Cause or make any data, information, image, program, signal or sound unintelligible or unusable; or 3. Prevent, impede, delay or disrupt the normal operation or use of any component, device, equipment, system or network.

But alas, it is a step in the right direction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Basgen Information Security Pima Community College ________________________________________ From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Valdis Kletnieks [Valdis.Kletnieks () VT EDU] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 7:33 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Nevada's mandatory encryption law On Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:31:27 PDT, "Basgen, Brian" said:
(a) "Encryption" has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 205.4742.
I don't have that handy - does that definition rule out rot-13 and the even more secure double-rot-13, and similar kiddy-krypto?
