Dear Taewook KIM

Mads Bryde Andersen has asked me to answer your request.

An Expert Committee on Cryptography under the auspices of the Ministry
of Research and Information Technology, including representatives from
other Danish ministries, released a report in April 1997. The Committee
studied the advantages and disadvantages of introducing regulations
covering the use of cryptography. The Committee recommended against
introducing such regulations, but suggested that Danish cryptography
policy should be viewed in light of international developments. An
analysis of the effects of introducing incentive schemes for the use of
key recovery systems was finished in May 1998, which concluded that the
introduction of such schemes could not be recommended in light of the
present international situation.

Against this background, the Expert Committee made its final
recommendations in June 1998. The Committee concluded that neither
regulation nor incentive schemes should be implemented at this time, but
that international developments should be closely followed and the
possibility of regulating encryption re-considered if the general
international approach moves in this direction.

Yours sincerely
Martin Dahl Pedersen
Head of Section
Ministry of Research and Information Technology Denmark
