After the ban and the last lifting of the blockade of Huawei, the President of the United States Donald Trump plans to ban end-to-end encryption.
In accordance with Politico, senior White House officials met this week to discuss the first steps the Trump government could do.
Politico says, referring to three people who know the issue, that two key service officials have discussed a possible blockade of end-to-end encryption.
Of course, we've been hearing for a while that end-to-end encryption isn't so popular in the White House, and especially in secret services. The σενάρια και οι "λύσεις" 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.
Διαμαρτυρίες όμως "ακούγονται" και εσωτερικά της κυβέρνησης Donald Trump, since it Department of Homeland Security (DHS), for example, is trying to separate its position, recognizing the security implications that could result in 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, used by the majority of US companies in their products (see Apple and Google), prevents authorities from accessing suspects' data. Technology companies are now using (after 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 Bernardino terrorist, explaining that its breaking devices would endanger the safety of all the company's customers.
The FBI eventually managed to unlock the device using software that was developed by a third party.
