Basically ... encrypt the hell out of customer data, no matter what the government says ... and then cooperate fully in getting Chinese hackers, Russian hackers, North Korean hackers and anyone else putting our electronic infrastructure in danger.
Do you really think that the Government, our Government wants “any” person to be able to encrypt their data as to keep them from fulfilling their mission ?
We have had long standing encryption technologies and laws against allowing other nations from access to them.
This effort is saying that those technologies have been discovered and co-opted by both foreign governments and terrorist organizations that in order to stop them, our Government needs to access the raw data that private companies, Apple et al, have.
I understand the goal and the threat, however I have absolutely no confidence that this new protocol will not be abused for political ends.
Paranoid ?
Maybe.
Like I stated before, things happen because they CAN happen.
