Australia has very weird and wide reaching laws regarding software backdoors.
- danaris 6y agoCan you elaborate on a) what kinds of laws on software backdoors? (Mandating them? Forbidding them? What sort?), and b) how that affects the GP's request? Edit: Nvm on (b); somehow I got GitLab and BitBucket mixed up as to which one belonged to Atlassian. Still curious about what sort of backdoor laws they have.
- herodoturtle 6y agoI think it's in reference to this from a few years ago: https://www.wired.com/story/australia-encryption-law-global-impact/ https://www.wired.com/story/australia-encryption-law-global-... EDIT: I've done some more reading up on this, and The Assistance and Access Act of 2018 explicitly states that government cannot use backdoors: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/national-security/lawful-access-telecommunications/data-encryption https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/natio...
