I think we need to wait for someone that understands Russian to chime in and tell us whether this article interpreted this correctly, or if this is just a law giving the state the authority to collect your private keys from your systems (via however they want to accomplish this)
- bndr 10y agoThe linked fsb.ru update says nothing about ability to collect encryption keys by themselves. It only says that the method with which the companies will be able to give them the encryption keys is approved. Still, my russian may be rusty, but it seems to me, the FSB just documented a procedure which the companies will need to follow to provide the FSB with the keys.
- lambdadmitry 10y agoYep, you're right. The article in question misrepresented the linked Russian text. Source: I'm Russian.
- aleksi 10y ago> or if this is just a law giving the state the authority to collect your private keys from your systems (via however they want to accomplish this) That. No details are available. People say they have no idea how to accomplish this.
- EugeneOZ 10y agoI speak russian and I can ensure you this story is ridiculous for every IT-related person in Russia. Russian segment of the internet already produced a lot of memes and jokes about "all keys in 2 weeks" (and teleport in last day, please). It's just level of incompetence of the Russian government. This law is just reason to ban every messenger who will not send traffic to FSB.
- executesorder66 10y agoHeh. That reminds me about the time when my government (South Africa) wanted to pass a law that all local ISP's must log and store every bit of data that goes through their networks for at least 5 years.
