So basically he wants to ensure that black hatters will be able to crack all encryption in the United States? If the U.S. Government can crack something, than that means there is a human element that will always be exploitable. If a group of people can crack an encryption, than that group of people is the weakness. Someone will be social engineered, hacked, or compromised successfully eventually. They might even just make a stupid mistake. This basically ensures that whatever the United States is using to crack encryptions will leak eventually causing legal encryption to be completely insecure until the government releases its next update, until that leaks as well, and we end up with a cycle of fuckery on our hands. Yeah, let's not do that. > Obama administration says it has no plans to legislate against strong encryption, and the UK government says it doesn't either. So It doesn't look like we have to worry. The argument for legislation is idiotic. Terrorists won't care if it's legal or not to use strong encryption. You would only be forcing law abiding citizens to use weak encryption.
