Donald Trump Now Wants to Ban End-to-End Encryption
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
**After[banning][1] and [unbanning][2] Huawei, United States President Donald Trump is now planning to go after end-to-end encryption, with a new report claiming that senior White House officials met this week to discuss the first step the administration could make in this regard.**
|
||
|
||
[Politico][3] notes, citing three people familiar with the matter, that number two officials from several key agencies discussed a potential offensive against end-to-end encryption.
|
||
|
||
“The two paths were to either put out a statement or a general position on encryption, and [say] that they would continue to work on a solution, or to ask Congress for legislation,” one source was quoted as saying by the cited publication.
|
||
|
||
While the White House administration wants to kill off end-to-end encryption in software developed by American companies, this proposal was received with mixed reactions from representatives of various agencies in the country.
|
||
|
||
For example, the DHS “is internally divided,” Politico notes, as the agency is aware of the security implications that banning end-to-end encryption could generate.
|
||
|
||
### The encryption dispute
|
||
|
||
Pushing for regulations against end-to-end encryption is described as a decisive step in the efforts of intelligence agencies and law enforcement in the United States to access devices and data belonging to criminals and terrorists.
|
||
|
||
The encryption, which the majority of American companies have already bundled into their products, including here Apple and Google, blocks investigators from accessing suspects’ data. Tech companies position end-to-end encryption as a key privacy feature, and several of them have warned that any regulation against it could even affect national security.
|
||
|
||
Apple, in particular, is one of the biggest companies fighting against anti-encryption regulation. The company [**refused to unlock an iPhone used by the San Bernardino terrorist**][4], explaining that breaking into the device would have compromised the security of all customers.
|
||
|
||
The FBI eventually unlocked the device using software developed by a third-party.
