All data on phone can be encrypted

Multiple Leaks Pushed Encryption

Renewed Calls for Access

• Terrorist attackes in Paris (2015-11-13) renewed calls for more government monitoring of all communication
  
   
• Multiple claims for a "backdoor" to access messages and devices

"... if you create a product that allows evil monsters to communicate in this way, ... that is a big problem. So we need high tech’s help in securing an internet that even with a court order you can’t get to what they’re saying. That’s a big problem."

 

Sen. Diane Feinstein, interview with MSNBC (16 Nov 2015)

Why it's Wrong

• Encryption locks communications
  
  
   

• "Back-doors" are available to anyone
  
  

Access

• The Government would not be the only one with access
  
   
• Using the decryption process is not a skilled operation
  
   
• Access to communications are available to all
  
   
• Anyone with money, power, or luck will have access to all messages, transactions, etc.
