Wave Systems Corp. (fka WAVXQ)

I was just thinking a little bit over the last week on this scrambls thing. If the app is very strongly encrypted and "tight", surely the gov't is not going to like this if they are not provided with back door access (the content deliverers' perspective are more perplexing but similarly problematic). What are the government's options?

1) Force Wave to provide the keys to the backdoor? General public would still use it but seriously bad people would not?

2)Buy it and shut it downt? Others will just create it

3)Force Wave to discontinue it? How? Entice it with other revenue streams? Taxation, audits, and other bureaucratic harassments? Harassment of anyone adopting the tech?

4)Drive Wave out of business? No DoD or other gov't sector biz? Awards to other vendoers for similar but unproven tech (doesn't solve the problem unless they provide a backdoor)? Non-awards to Wave partners?

Or am I just disillusioned with Big Brother's concern?
