3 key-escrow
COMPUTING système m du tiers de confiance (selon lequel l'utilisateur confie sa clé privée de cryptage à un tiers de confiance agréé)Under key-escrow, your private key would be held in trust by a third party, and if you came under suspicion it would be made available to the authorities... Where can we find a suitably trustworthy third party, anyway? In some countries where key-escrow has been mooted, the banking institutions have been seen as the logical TTP. People trust them with their money, so why not with a crypto key?
