Paradox. They need more talent to build more secure mousetraps. Large portions of the talent pool are sidelined on political and/or technology-first ideology. Requirements don't ch…

Given the extent of military intelligence docs stolen, and given that the domestic programs deployed were lawful at the time, whistleblower is a disingenuious title for Mr. Snowden…

Are downvotes on both of my comments warranted? Such a theory is worth exploring, yes? Edit: this comment was downvoted almost instantly as well.

Also, odds that the govt has secret radically advanced quantum computing tech and does have a QC to recover using Shor’s? (Yea, probably unlikely as it would takes millions of qubi…

What are the odds that big tech and big brother are in bed creating a huge dog and pony show to counter the post-Snowden “going dark” reality? Given: The public knows about mass su…

One unfortunate example doesn’t make for a case either way. My understanding is that FB (for example) would hold the keys and turn over only when compelled via warrant. Not mass su…

We would need statistics to assert one way or another. I suspect it’s the opposite: give people the means to easily maintain their own communication networks completely out of view…

If I understand right, in this example FB would hold the keys to recover the cleartext and turn it over to law enforcement only when compelled to do so with a warrant. This isn’t e…

Sorry, not following how this counters any of my points. Shenanigans via anachronistic laws or corrupt cops isn’t related to encryption, and we know sophisticated criminals can emp…

Not following your slippery slope argument.

Offering lawful access to widely deployed encryption is hardly an extreme view. Our IC and their partners, as well as our bureaucrats, are mostly in agreement. An extreme view migh…

Bananas and bowling balls. Based on your description, the situation you described is a shame and a failure of law enforcement to keep us safe. Not an encryption issue.

Forgot to add: I don’t trust the consumer devices including a fully patched brand new iPhone. I am far more concerned about the various private interests abusing data access, data …

Yes, removing such spof’s should be a design requirement. Yes, it’s a difficult problem with social implications, and not simply technical challenges, as you noted. Yes, Snowden sh…

Frictionless E2EE at scale is cancerous on society and the FYEV/JP alliance know this all too well. As this subject has been iterated over many times, will keep this comment short.…

>criminal empires True, you can’t stop math but you can try to police it. You can regulate consumer access. Doing so means one less “gone dark” area, which makes LE job easier. >se…

Unpopular view, but unrecoverable encryption deployed at web scale is a cancer on society. While unrecoverable encryption provides additional privacy to law abiding citizens, it no…

Maybe this is possible instead with homomorphic encryption.
