Short Take: Court schedules arguments for DOJ crypto appeal

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in the case of Daniel Bernstein vs. the Justice Department on March 21, 2000, in San Francisco. In May the court ruled that Bernstein, a math professor, could continue posting encryption code on his Web site, finding that U.S. export limits on encryption are unconstitutional. In June the Justice Department appealed the Ninth Circuit's decision.
