House Working Group: Encryption Bypasses a Bad Idea
Audio Report: ISMG Editors Analyze the Latest Developments
The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report features an analysis of recommendations by the U.S. House of Representatives Encryption Working Group that Congress should not enact legislation that requires technology companies to help law enforcement authorities bypass encryption on the devices they manufacture.
In the Security Report, you'll also hear (click player beneath image to listen):
- Stanford University cybersecurity policy expert Herbert Lin, a member of President Obama's Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity, explain why Congress should consider debating legislation to establish a framework to guide law enforcement's use of "lawful hacking;"
