    , but divide the key into pieces so that no one person or agency alone could decide to use it.

    Exactly how do they intend to split a key; by piling layers of encryption atop each other or by splitting the RSA public key modulo's factors into multiple authorities?

    Given the option of piling layers of encryption on top of each other, it would seem that private keys would need to be divulged to create this encrypted comm. system

    The modulo is a semiprime number, so it has only 2 factors. I think he wants a Threshold cryptosystem, where m out of n parties need to use their keys for it to work.
