How does this differ from the access and assistance bill in Australia?
While its super illegal for anyone to talk about, literally none of the actions that were going to be taken (Atlassian threatened to move overseas and stop servicing oz, Apple/Facebook/Google all rattled sabers) eventuated. We can only assume that the backdoors have been delivered on time without complaint.
- Buttons840 3y agoIs it really considered a "backdoor" for one party to willingly hand over the data that was exchanged through an encrypted channel? I'm not sure what you mean.
- protocolture 3y agoThe access and assistance bill requires platforms to create a technical capability on demand. From there the cops get to use their imaginations. Do they create a backdoor that allows them to get the data just after decryption from the end device? Do they ask for this to happen in real time for all users and that firehose is directed at some gubment server? Do they want the ability to unilaterally shut down the service? Its a grab bag. If the cops are more creative than me, than we are in even worse strife.
