I read the court case in translation at the time. The opposite is true. The government acknowledged in court that keys for E2EE chats were not possible to surrender, but they had terrorists using non-E2EE groups to coordinate an attack and Telegram didn't produce those keys either.
- fuoqi 6y agoCan you link it? The relevant law written in a really stupid manner, it requires to give keys for decrypting communications, which in case of TLS means session keys. Of course no sane company would log them, so they have nothing to give in the first place. But refusing to share keys speaks nothing about sharing messages themselves. One justification for sharing keys could be that security services want to use data recorded by SORM (and nowadays we also have the goddamn Yarovaya law) as an evidence and to do that you have decrypt it. Luckily for us modern security frameworks are built around ephemeral keys and forward secrecy.
