Congressional Report Backs Strong Encryption, Police Decryption Rights
Found on eWEEK on Monday, 26 December 2016
The report released by a bi-partisan study group underscores law enforcement’s need to decrypt data while highlighting the importance of supporting strong encryption.
While finding that “any measure that weakens encryption works against the national interest,” the report also concluded that Congress needs to consider legislation that could help law enforcement gain access to digital information during investigations and work with technology companies to find solutions.
It just does not work this way. Either the encryption is strong, secure, and assures that only you have access to your data, or there is no encryption. Any sort of backdoor will inevitably destroy the security and reliability of an encryption process.
