But isn't that the whole story? A device produced to securely encrypt data is proposed to be outlawed - if that's a physical device today, it'll be an algorithmic device tomorrow. A law against one effective safe is a law against all effective safes.
Any encryption device is "sophisticated" if it is useful. Maybe we could read it as "UK is trying to ban /useful/ encryption outright"
