Stop trying to build scenarios where key escrow solutions are technically sound. They are not. This is an intractable problem that is not solved by these half cocked technical measures. Key escrow cannot by definition be secure, and wasting time trying to invent solutions just confuses the matter, weakens security and leaves us all vulnerable. Basically, Sssssssh, or the politicians might actually believe this fantasy.
