yeah, i don't think this was thought out, or at least i haven't read anything on this subject. how does the draft text deal with cryptography?

- upofadown 5y agoSomething like this can't really make end to end encryption interoperable. There will be no encryption at the transitions between systems. Clients would have to use something that can work over arbitrary textual channels like OTR or PGP.
- cf141q5325 5y agoNo idea why this was downvoted. OTR is the correct answer here.

- lucianbr 5y agoHTTPS works encrypted between multiple clients, servers and proxies without issues (mostly). There is nothing impossible about encrypted communication. It's just that all servers and clients need to work together to achieve this.
- upofadown 5y agoHTTPS is not end to end. End to end encryption does not require a server and could not use one anyway. Effective end to end encryption has to entirely happen on the ends.
- stkdump 5y agoI don't think laws have to explain how to technically solve these things. e2ee could be maintained, it all depends on the level of integration/interoperation that these companies will choose. Of course, it is equally likely that they won't bother (since e2ee is under constant attack from governments anyway) and just don't go that extra mile.
