This is an incremental critique pointing out a specific limitation in a cryptographic protocol, relevant for security and privacy applications.
The paper identifies a flaw in the Bellare-Rivest protocol for translucent cryptography, showing it fails to enable government decryption of partial encrypted communications as intended.
We remark that the Bellare-Rivest protocol for translucent cryptography [J. Cryptology (1999) 12: 117-139] can not truly enable the government to decrypt partial encrypted communications.
