Experts Oppose U.S. and British Plan for Access to Encrypted Data

Tuesday, July 7, 2015 9:06 AM EDT

An elite group of code makers and code breakers is taking American and
British intelligence and law enforcement agencies to task in a new paper
that evaluates government proposals to maintain special access to encrypted
digital communications.
On Tuesday, the group - 13 of the world's pre-eminent cryptographers,
computer scientists and security specialists - will release the paper, which
concludes there is no viable technical solution that would allow the
American and British governments to gain "exceptional access" to encrypted
communications without putting the world's most confidential data and
critical infrastructure in danger.
The report is being released a day before James B. Comey Jr., the director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Sally Quillian Yates, the deputy
attorney general at the Justice Department, are scheduled to testify before
the Senate Judiciary Committee on the concerns that they and other
government agencies have about "going dark" - the fear that new encryption
technologies will prevent them from monitoring the communications of
kidnappers, terrorists and other adversaries.
The authors of the report said such fears did not justify putting the
world's digital communications at risk. Given the inherent vulnerabilities
of the Internet, they argued, reducing encryption is not an option. Handing
governments a key to encrypted communications would also require an
extraordinary degree of trust. With government agency breaches now the norm
- most recently at the United States Office of Personnel Management, the
State Department and the White House - the security specialists said
authorities cannot be trusted to keep such keys safe from hackers and
criminals. They added that if the United States and Britain mandated
backdoor keys to communications, it would spur China and other governments
in foreign markets to do the same.
