Following the ban and the final lifting of Huawei's blockade, United States President Donald Trump plans to go ahead with a ban on end-to-end encryption.
In accordance with Political, senior White House officials met this week to discuss the first steps the Trump government could do.
Politico reports, citing three people familiar with the matter theme, that two officials from key agencies discussed a possible blockade of end-to-end encryption.
Of course we have long heard that end-to-end encryption is less sympathetic to the White House, especially to the secret services. The scenarios and "solutions" published from time to time report an encryption software that will give access to a select few, but there have been too many reactions from private IT, and large technology companies.
But protests are "heard" inside the Donald Trump administration, after the department of Homeland Security (DHS) for example, tries to separate its position, recognizing the consequences to better safety which could cause a ban on end-to-end encryption.
On the other hand, the creation of an anti-encryption bill is described as a very decisive step in the efforts of the United States intelligence services, because they will be able to access devices and data belonging to criminals and terrorists.
Encryption, which the majority of American companies use in their products (see Apple and Google), prevents authorities from accessing suspect data. The companies technologys they use anymore (after the Snowden's revelations) end-to-end encryption as a key feature of privacy.
Many of these companies have warned that any regulation against encryption could even affect national security.
Apple, in particular, refused to unlock an iPhone used by the San terrorist Bernardino, εξηγώντας ότι το σπάσιμο της συσκευής θα έθετε σε κίνδυνο την ασφάλεια όλων των πελατών της companys.
The FBI eventually managed to unlock the device using software that was developed by a third party.
