GPG does not implement ADK.  I think that, historically, it seemed too
much like the kind of key escrow systems that governments have from
time to time talked about wanting, although clearly there is a
difference.

I know that ADK can be circumvented by a determined attacker, but it
strikes me as a useful feature, and I have never quite understood the
opposition to it.  It would have made encryption more palatable in
corporate settings, which surely would have been a good thing!

But I'm not an expert, and I'm probably missing a point somewhere...
