Weak encryption won't defeat terrorists but it will enable hackers | Trevor Timm | Opinion | The Guardian: Bizarrely, Comey told the Senate that whether or not tech companies decide to introduce backdoors in their encryption is “not a technical issue” but it’s a “business model question”. That’s a strange thing to say since a large group of the world’s leading computer scientists wrote a paper explaining that it is a technical issue, and that you can’t create a backdoor without making everyone’s communications more vulnerable to all sorts of hackers, whether they be private criminal elements or foreign governments.
