Yes, exactly, it's the same thinking that lets the government search people's houses when authorized, or detail and question them when authorized.
We already have this concept of "the government can go through your stuff" in the form of search warrants. It's not a leap at all to apply that to encryption, too, even if some specific law gets it wrong at first.
I'm sure if pocket enigma machines were around when these laws were first being put to parchment, there'd have been something in there about encryption from the start.
- WhoBeI 11y agoThis is not the same thing. The problem is that your government wants to break all forms of encryption regardless of where or how they are used. Either they want something like a skeleton key or a method of bypassing the security altogether. So they're not requesting a search warrant. They are requiring that you hand over the keys to your home or install a special door for them that is always kept unlocked.
