I can't help but wonder how this bill, on top of Brexit, will affect the state of technology entrepreneurship in the UK. Why should an entrepreneur start up a technology business in the UK if his efforts will be hampered by politicians who have no clue about how technology actually works?
- carterehsmith 10y agoRest assured that there are people working for the government that know more about encryption then you or I or 5,000 entrepreneurs. For example, GCHQ came up with PKI before the people that "invented" PKI and published it.
- inetsee 10y agoI have no doubt that the people working for GCQH know as much as anybody about encryption. The question is, are they smart enough to convince buyers that encryption with backdoors is secure against hackers. Because if buyers don't believe encryption with backdoors is secure, they won't buy it. If the buyers won't buy it, it's going to be very hard for entrepreneurs to succeed in selling it.
