.... refers to national intelligence [10] 135 A document on encryption in the National Health Service, issued in April, had already recommended that medical traffic should be encrypted, and keys should be managed, using mechanisms compatible with the future National Public Key Infrastructure [26]; part of the claimed advantages for the health service were that the same mechanisms would be used to protect electronically filed tax returns and applications from industry for government grants.

It also stated that a number of necessary National Policy decisions were made by CESG in the last months of 1995 . on the 10th June the government went public with an announcement that it would set up a licensing scheme for trusted third party services [28] 30] when this policy was ....

....As mentioned above, it is government policy to encourage its uptake in other sectors, in order to make it worth commercial software supliers while to support it in their products. This is confirmed elsewhere. For example, according to the Zergo report on encryption in the National Health Service [35], that the government is planning a national public key infrastructure based on Diffie Hellman rather than RSA technology, and for this reason the NHS is urged to use the former rather than the latter for compatibility. In this application, the proposal is to introduce encryption first, and ....
