The Facebook it seems to be trying to create an end-to-end encryption across it company and its network. In this move you will also include the encryption of links between its data centers. The company's goal is to keep the government at the front door, and close the backdoors.
Ο υπεύθυνος υποδομών ασφαλείας του κοινωνικού δικτύου Gregg Stefancik, δήλωσε στους δημοσιογράφους του ZDNet σήμερα το πρωί ότι οι πληροφορίες που διέρρευσαν από τον Edward Snowden, αναφέρουν ότι η υπηρεσία ασφαλείας των ΗΠΑ (NSA) είχε backdoors στα δεδομένα που αποθηκεύονται από Companies such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Apple, and that they are concerned about government interference.
He said his company was trying to start encrypting the links between data centers several years ago.
“Snowden validated a lot of what we knew was required of her protection of the public."
"It's quite complicated. It is more complicated than with consumer devices in a web front-end encryption, as we call it. This threat is very different because it comes from the level of the network provider. The complexity of our infrastructure means that unfortunately we are not there yet. "We prioritize traffic encryption, which is more sensitive on Facebook, and we work aggressively to get to the point where we can tell you that we have encrypted everything between our data centers."
Of course, the encryption of these links may not be enough if the Prosecutor's Office requires the opposite. A mandate from the Office reaches for the telecommunication tracking, as all service providers are forced to help with decrypting encrypted communications within a warrant.
