jamesb Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 It seems David Cameron has come up with a solution to the issues of crime and terrorism. Very simple one too. Just enact his proposal, then arrest anyone still using encryption. So if they get in at the election, I'll be looking at emigration options. After all banning encryption destroys most of my domain within the UK. What do UK and Iran have in common? Both want to outlaw encrypted apps • The Register
jinnantonnixx Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I can see big businesses getting behind this*. *Not really.
jamesb Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 That's why it surprises me. Obviously Cameron hasn't discussed this with his bosses.
jinnantonnixx Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) He really should be briefed on the basics before making these silly speeches. Even the slowest of minds can see that his proposals are nonsense. Edited January 13, 2015 by jinnantonnixx

How will law firms communicate confidential documents without someone hand delivering everything or councils send private and sensitive information about children in care etc. Cannot see this happening to be honest.

And suddenly it makes sense. Now that the Post Office has been sold off to buddies, he's trying to reinvigorate the business model. Genius.
jinnantonnixx Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I hope they tie the document bundles with tape and use a wax seal. This will replace PGP/SSL.
flyinghaggis Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 David Cameron :- “I have a very simple principle which will be the heart of the new legislation that will be necessary. In our country, do we want to allow a means of communication between people which even in extremis, with a signed warrant from the home secretary personally, that we cannot read? “Up until now, governments have said: ‘No, we must not’. “That is why in extremis it has been possible to read someone’s letter, to listen to someone's telephone, to mobile communications. “But the question remains: are we going to allow a means of communications which it simply isn’t possible to read. My answer to that question is: ‘No we must not’." This is starting to go in a worrying direction.......
