The US debate on encryption has been warming for some time, and is highlighted in the news again this week following an event, "the encryption debate: privacy and national security balance," hosted by Passcode and Christian science Monitor
views the FBI was reaffirmed at the event by the Deputy Executive Director of the Directorate of science and technology FBI ,. Amy Hess. Hess said that encryption is to help the criminals and bring them to a status "above the law ". Moreover, she expressed the feeling that "weaker encryption is an interesting compromise for access to law enforcement data." The FBI wants businesses to be able to get back on consumption data when are presented with a warrant, a process that is enabled by encryption backdoors at least not yet -. -. the FBI has not called for legislation on the matter but it is very vocal about their opinions view
as the FBI continues to lobby for encryption backdoors, technology giants are standing with them continuing to build encryption products and by refusing to provide the requested access. at event this week, officials said the technology community must "try harder" to find a solution that protects user's privacy yet also allows them to access the data. This "solution" would be inherently introduce security risks. In addition, a point raised by the CTO of Silent Circle, a warrant does not give the FBI the right to data - it only gives them the right to seek
As we have previously indicated. We believe that encryption is essential and strongly opposed encryption backdoors. The technology community has already developed and implemented a solution to protect the privacy of the user and data - encryption - and replacement with a less secure solution simply does not make sense. As the FBI continues to push the issue, it is important that we continue to talk and fight against the "key" and backdoors in our communications.
