I'm afraid even Senator Ron Wyden misunderstands it. It isn't that we give them the "power" to break encryption, its that we fundamentally weaken it. We must build the encryption with tissue paper in order to let a person walk through it.
- gnode 7y agoMost discussion of backdoors these days is no longer about weakening the encryption itself, but prohibiting its private use. It's about data retention, key escrow, key disclosure and man-in-the-middle attacking everyone like Kazakhstan is trying to do. Cryptography technology is public knowledge now; there's no putting the cat back in the bag, so now it's about making the non-government approved use of it criminal / basis to assume guilt.
