Because if the feds don't ban encryption, then the terrorists win. Won't you please think of the children????

I think it's only a matter of time before the US Government tries to ban encryption. It's quickly becoming the last measure in the fight to maintain privacy online. The ISPs would support it, because it will mess up their ability to throttle content. I for one have nothing to hide, but I encrypt everything I can. Not because I'm doing illegal activities, but more of a "fuck you" to my ISP and anyone who might be listening in.
No, they won't for merchants. All that is encrypted data. Same with banks and other bills.

Most people only use a few types, either because of large depositories or for ease of use.

If something like that happens, then I simply see dozens of newer cryto algorithms popping up, and being hosted out of places where the law has no reach. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20770775 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:40:05 EDT Re: Ban Encryption http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20769751 Corydon : They won't ban it, they'll try to do what the Clinton administration tried to do with Clipper and put in a back door that they can use. After all, a lot of commerce happens online that they don't want to kill.

The problem is, once it's known that there's a back door, it's not a matter of if it gets hacked, but when.

I just can't think of any way they could ban encryption. After all, any computer science type person could whip something up that would do the trick. And with all the bits and bytes flying around, how would anyone be able to detect encrypted data over, say, a zip file or some other binary content?

I couldn't agree more. The US Government is too afraid of anything it doesn't know about or can't get access too. However banning encryption I don't think will happen anytime soon. What I can see is the US Gov forcing you to install gov approved spy software on your pc where the information is not encrypted before it gets sent out on your encrypted connection.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20769069 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:08:51 EDT Ban Encryption http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20768977 texans20 : I think it's only a matter of time before the US Government tries to ban encryption.
