>The White House is said to be weighing a plan to force US tech giants, software and hardware makers, and other companies, to deploy only encryption, particular only end-to-end cryptography, that can be cracked by American law enforcement, or ban it outright. >A report by Politico claims Trump administration officials met this month and kicked around the idea of asking Congress to pass legislation that would effectively ban the use of strong end-to-end encryption.
Probably a result of a tired IT guy explaining some clueless suit that no sir, we can't break RSA4096.

This is some of the dumbest shit ever proposed. Fuck all braindead faggots that had any part in this. t. American

Australia has already done it
Oliver Cruz
Based boomers being out of touch
Luke Foster
Didn't the UK consider this at one point as well? I'm pretty sure Theresa suggested it in their old job.
Dylan Richardson
You'll want a copy of GnuPG, Veracrypt, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, LibreSSL, and any programs you want that would interface with those or use encryption of their own.
James Green
I'm sure any western country has considered this already. Our interior ministry here in Germany also considered a law that would require Facebook and co. to use encryption that can be broken when requested by the government.
Eli Brown
Or just NaCL
Brody Ward

Why are my fellow Americans so fucking retarded? We could've elected Ron Paul in 2008, and 2012, and the acceleration of clown world would've be fucking done. I have a constitutional right to privacy.
Isaiah Myers
As much as I hate lobbying, tech giants like jewgle and facecrook will hopefully go against it.
It’s probably the usual like Dianne Feinstein and her cronies.

The fucking EU or at least germany is whithin this Clowd Act retard
Jacob Wilson
No, WhatsApp most likely cannot be “broken” by the NSA. However, they still likely can spy on convos. How? Think about it. It’s a proprietary app owned and controlled by FACEBOOK. All of the communications go through FB servers. So really, the program’s end to end encryption could really more accurately be described as end-to-Facebook-to-end. NSA would just get the chats directly from mr. zucc and his datacenters, not by going through the complex process of breaking crypto. Occam’s Razor and all that.
Jason Powell
>usa congress passes legislation to make companies in europe implement encryption crackable by usa Ok retard.

Just like those Huawei sanctions, right? Trump is all huff and puff, the fucking prick.

sir, this is a discussion of digital software and protocol. Sodium chloride, while a wonderful source of the needful electrolyte sodium, is not indeed an element procured for modern electrical systems. Indubiously thou shalt take thine own life.
Liam Rogers
Are we talking about the constitution, or about reality? Last I checked, 48 of the 50 states employ what is called "pretrial diversion" which is a program by which a person charged with a crime is either imprisoned until trial (really, until a plea deal since only 5% of criminal cases go to trial), OR they are placed on an indefinite equivalent of supervised probation. In other words, you are guilty until proven innocent, and lack of proof means you will be treated as a criminal until compelling reason is brought to the state (for example, in Colorado, you can pay a fee ranging between a few thousand, to several million dollars, to skip your assigned jail time, it's legal and on the books)
>banning encryption Only a morn would fall for this.
Cameron Scott
Hrm, interesting crossroads we are at. While I do think the government has a valid claim that a warrant should allow them access to search and seize items. On the other hand, can the government compel a company to design their product in such a way that would allow them access?
Noah Flores
Effectively unbreakable encryption is a thing that exists right now. It's a technology that is impossible to make inaccessible to criminals and if you intentionally build in backdoors they will be used for nefarious purposes at some point.

Oliver Miller
This article explains encryption. I'm sure most people interested in and reading this thread understand encryption, but I wanted to share it anyways because the part at the end about how to combat the use of encryption is just gold.
>certain combinations of ones and zeros are illegal >now, certain mathematical algorithms are illegal KEk
Gavin Wilson
But Bosnia and Hercegovina isn't. Actually, I'm not shure if it's under any law anymore... We're just waiting for that thing to blow up.
Chase Rogers
jesus it's comments like this that make me wonder why i come here at all.
it's END to END encryption you retard. as in your shitphone to your message recipients phone. The encrypted traffic may or may not pass through facebook's servers, it doesn't matter because it's encrypted starting at one end and decrypted only once it gets to the other end.
Jack Brown
Save us? All he did was scare them enough to avoid getting itar and related legislation entirely thrown out for being unconstitutional. The small prize being that encryption is sorta, but not really, export controlled but it's ok cuz based Clinton executive orders.
Christopher Gutierrez
That shit rating system has always bugged me. It was relevant during the Cold war and not since then. It doesn't symbolize the advancement of a country and is just used as a label so it's basically like a Lamborghini. Sounds flashy and powerful but it's just a chaded-up Audi that's put together by Italians.
Adrian Reed
You a porschenigger or beemerturk?
Jaxson Miller
I have nothing against Audi, they make patrician tier vehicles (Porsche is stale, only arabs, albanians and trophy wives drive Mercs and BMW has a image problem with every douchnozzle driving one). What I am against is even giving guido scum access to their tech (yeah yeah I know it's money, but nothing of worth came from the Italian auto industry)..
Tyler Taylor
>can't search "clowd act" in Google Please kill yourself
Caleb Evans
Because now Russia and criminals can too. It's idiotic. If thier goal was monitoring communications while maintaining privacy they have you register encryption keys, but this is absolutely retarded.
Mason Reyes
So if law enforcement can crack this shit, then everyone else can too right? Or do they put the upper limit at something a supercluster is required for so that only people with million dollar computing centers can crack it, costing the state probably hundreds of thousands in computing time every time they want to read something?
Joshua Howard
if this was another president i would probably take it seriously but trump consistently makes statements with no intent to follow through with them simply to see how the public and the media will react to them and has used it to great effect for pretty much every single media circus he's been involved in.
on the other hand, he banned bump stocks, which was unconstitutional, so take that as you will
Brody Gonzalez
You shouldn't take it seriously regardless because the article is riddle with weasel words and even admits that no action is likely to be taken. It's outrage bait built around blowing a casually shot down idea out of proportion and everyone here fell for it.
Colton Bennett
Just because the mongs in the orange house don't have the power to act out on their latest barf policy doesn't mean that they are not setting the stage for what they want to achieve. You can close your eyes on reality but reality will always close in on you--stop being such a boot licker.
