Do they in fact decrypt anything for law enforcement or no? Again, we need to be careful what the government is allowed access to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273930.post-41622886885465640932012-04-09T16:24:29.307-03:002012-04-09T16:24:29.307-03:00To me this smells like an all out assault on priva...To me this smells like an all out assault on privacy.Willhttps://www.bergeronclifford.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273930.post-47594705975445215892012-04-03T17:52:10.491-03:002012-04-03T17:52:10.491-03:00I've heard this brought up a number of times i...I've heard this brought up a number of times in a number of forums. What I don't understand is how they can make it mandatory? Strong encryption techniques are essentially unbreakable and have no weakness other than a brute force attack. Unless you have the keys, of course, some encryptions could take decades to crack using this method. I found a quote on-line talking about 4096-bit RSA encryption, "It would take the combined processing power of every computer in the world thousands of years to crack 4096-bit encryption."<br /><br />The best they can hope for is mandated back-doors, which essentially breaks the encryption and can't be enforced for foreign-own encryption companies. So, I think what they're really looking for, in the long term, is to make encryption illegal for consumer use. One step closer to communism, welcome to Can-China. And organized crime...BAH!!! Child pornographers...YA RIGHT!!! They're looking to catch copyright infringers...plain and simple!! Everyone knows C-11 is toothless unless they can spy on what we're doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273930.post-67144691405042313572012-04-03T16:05:39.367-03:002012-04-03T16:05:39.367-03:00This is ludicrous!

Good luck with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
