Probably not, big business is the primary user of encryption. Laws like this can get passed in the UK because their system isn't particularly responsive to the requirements of either their subjects, or their corporations. It's just not in the British psyche to complain when they are put upon.

Truly brilliant. Let's see your rainbow tables decrypt my 89e55d4f580dd044088b9a003110b37a and my 7de38f3c3d3baa7ca58a366f09577586.

A different key would be used for each account but each key is also stored in a master key file that is encrypted. That's the one the banks gave up.

yes i know, but in that case you are a 'suspect' and then you cant be forced to co-operate with an investigation ? isn't it ?its only when you are a 'witness' that you can be forced to co-operated, once you are charged with something you have the right to not self-incriminate.at least thats what i thought.
