Encryption backdoor takes it up the ...
If the FBI "experts" ever bother to take a look at cryptography, that would be wonderful. "I can haz cheezeburger encryption and a pass key..."
A weighted M of N scheme would work for what they want. Unfortunately, these "expert" nitwits can't be bothered to get off their butts and just learn about concepts that secure quite a lot of things, and actually secure things very nicely.
But let's face it: if it were legislated that phones used M of N, that wouldn't help with the apps on the phones. They would only see everything that's been coming and going to the phone, for which they already have the log files!
So Mr Drug Dealer uses a secure app, which encrypts its own messages separately. There's still the matter that who talked to whom and when is still known, so they can still grab somebody for a few days for quality time in a chair under bright lights.
I still have my "Sink Clipper" t-shirt. Same thing applies now. They might as well mandate ROT13 as the new standard.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
