Oh, that's cool. Thanks for sharing. Full disclosure: I've been working on some similar ideas for a while. I'll be presenting a high-level pitch for the general concept at the USENIX Enigma conference in January [1]. Also hoping to have a full paper to share on https://eprint.iacr.org/ https://eprint.iacr.org/ sometime later this month. > But we're never going to get to discuss those kinds of scoping and cost-benefit tradeoffs if we don't engage in the process of shaping legislation in an open and honest way. Agreed. And I'll actually take it one step farther. I think it might make sense for tech companies to adopt a very conservative version of this approach even without a government mandate. Then the next time the DOJ rolls around to demand somebody turn over their private key (a la Lavabit), or to demand that somebody create a custom OS for them (Apple), we can say "No, we already gave you a way in, just pay the million dollars. Now bugger off and leave me alone." [1] https://www.usenix.org/conference/enigma2018/ https://www.usenix.org/conference/enigma2018/
