I read that article and wondered, Hunh?
Are the Feds asking ISPs to give them a raw feed of all(?) traffic,
so the Feds can at their leisure crack any interesting encrypted stuff?
Or are the Feds asking the ISPs to do the cracking for them?
The first one might just squeeze thru existing wiretap rules.
The second one would need fairly powerful medicine to force
ISPs to breach their contract with the user.
Anyhow isn't it all a crock? Because those black rooms are
already doing it, 'cept we're not s'posed to know ...

I was annoyed and disappointed when the Clinton administration demanded that
communications companies pay for and provide back doors to enable surveillance.
After reading the Washington Post article, I suppose that that law was called
CAELA. At about the same time the government tried to impose 56 bit DES codes
to which it keys to the back doors.
This seems to be more of the same. The administration is trying to impose
technology that is inferior and more expensive to preserve an ability to spy on
us.
I object. It is OK to get a court order to do a search based on probable cause,
but imposing weak encryption or expensive technology on anyone (me in
particular) without a court order based on probable cause is not OK.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
