In the dev blog by clover, it says this..
Finally, you need the racial Encryption skills to use the Data Interfaces. These skills are already in the game, but currently are associated with pirate factions (i.e. Angel Encryption Methods). Once Revelations hits the street these skills will be associated with the empires instead (so Angel Encryption Methods becomes Minmatar Encryption Methods). This does not affect those that already have the skill.
...
We can see that angel encryption methods and the others will change to minmatar encryption methods etc, but it then says that this does not effect those that already have the skill, what does that mean? It looks like it may mean that if you already have the skill trained then it wont change to minmatar encryption methods, etc.
These skills are very expensive and i dont want to have purchased and trained them only for kali to hit and find out my angel encryption skill did not change to minmatar encryption and i've now got a useless skill trained that cost me 400 million isk. I know other people want to know aswell, could you clear this up?
A simple way of putting it is, if i have trained angel encryptions before kali, when kali hits, will my trained angel encryptions skill change to minmatar encryptions meaning that i already have minmatar encryptions trained and wont need to train it again?

Why dont the devs reply within 11 minutes? They suck. :)
Well, a lot of people are getting these rare skills and selling them for a fortune to other players, sometimes over 400 mill per skill, theres going to be a lot of upset players, including me, if when kali hits my encryption skills are useless and i have to buy them all over again, not to mention the couple billion i blew on buying the various now-uselss encryption skills in the first place.

The way I read it they are just renaming the skills. This makes most sense.
That is the way i read it at first also, however after reading it again, i noticed more the bit at the end where it says "angel encryption methods will become minmatar encryption methods - this does not effect those who already have the skill" - That sounds to me like all encryption skills that existed before kali will not be renamed and will just become useless skills, much like mobile refinery operation.

When I readed the blog I came to the conclusion that they are just renaming those encryption skills, like from angel encryption to minmatar encryption.
And if you have the skill trained already you don't have to worry sinse they will just rename it and keep the levels trained, nothing more and nothing less.
That's what i thought to, till i really noticed the bit where it says "this does not effect those who already have the skill" So does that mean those that the skill wont be renamed for those that already have it? Making the current encryption skills completely useless.

It's the same skill, which just gets a new name which is more future proof and prevents us from having to create new skills which both are doing the same. So if you have the skill today, you can do everything you could do before - it's only the name that changes.
Ok thanks, so this means my trained angel encryptions skill that i have right now will allow me to use minmatar data interfaces when kali hits?

I'm fairly sure I remeber reading in a blog that they would be seeded. There was mass whinging about it.
This is a flat out lie, it was first mentioned in the invention dev blog sticked at the top of this page. There has been no dev confirmation as of yet.
