Topic	Australian encryption-busting Bill would create backdoors: Cisco
Kombucha 10/20/18 10:05:05 AM #24:	The last press I've seen on this was by Washington Post on Oct 19th. The increasingly vocal opposition deepens the divide between the tech industry and a coalition of governments, including the United States, pressuring companies to cooperate with law enforcement on requests for encrypted data. Just weeks ago, the Five Eyes group of intelligence agencies which includes Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United States issued a strongly worded joint statement threatening to crack down on companies if they dont start assisting investigators. Should governments continue to encounter impediments to lawful access to information necessary to aid the protection of the citizens of our countries, the coalition said, we may pursue technological, enforcement, legislative or other measures to achieve lawful access solutions. U.S. officials will be watching closely how the debate unfolds in Canberra. The Justice Department has expressed a strong interest in passing legislation forcing companies to create encryption workarounds if they continue to resist calls to cooperate with law enforcement. So far, efforts to move such a bill have stalled in Congress. But fallout from the FBIs epic legal battle with Apple over access to a terrorists encrypted cellphone has kept the issue on the radar, as has a recent court fight in which a judge ruled the government can't force Facebook to break the encryption on its popular Messenger voice app. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the- cybersecurity-202/2018/10/19/the-cybersecurity-202-u-s-tech-firms- slam-australian-bill-that-could-weaken-encryption/5bc8f0a71b326b7c8a8d1a7e/ had to break the URL, too long- here's the shortened version https://is.gd/iX0em6 I don't think the writer will be updating this article as he has retired his analysis of cyber security issues and is moving on. SIGNING OFF: Regretfully, todays newsletter is my final dispatch for the Cybersecurity 202. Its been an honor covering this fascinating space for The Post and I wish I could continue, but family obligations are taking me to New York for a new adventure. Will be interesting to see where this goes. It's definitely not a coincidence that intelligence alliances called for legislative measures and this cropped up a few weeks later. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:910846938] in Australian...
