The purpose of disclosing technology before release is so that the UK Gov't can plan and assess attack/intrusion measures before it becomes a mainstream/wide-spread product.
Don't be so naive to think this is just an 'administrative procedure'. This is the UK Gov't - and its Customers - putting in the procedure for subverting any technology it wants.
- chris_wot 11y agoYeah, that's not good. However, what's to stop the UK government from doing this after the product is released? But yes, that sounds like one of the reasons they want the legislation. However, I think a stronger motivation is that they want to force the company to weaken their security and/or add a backdoor for government enforcement. So yeah, I wouldn't be buying any product from the UK that has anything to do with security.
