Schneier on Australia's encryption laws and CyberCon speaker bans
Whenever this conversation appears in the news and I listen to various law enforcement and political folks defend some sort of need for breakable encryption, I always jump to the logical end.  Or at least one possible one.<p>In the future there WILL be brain computer interfaces.  Memory offloading, recording of visual and auditory cortex data, and other more mundane uses.  This may seem like fantasy&#x2F;scifi.  But barring some societal&#x2F;technological collapse, this will eventually happen.  If the precident is set for breakable encryption&#x2F;back doors, this will absolutely be used to &quot;supoena&quot; people&#x27;s &quot;brain information&quot; in that context.  The invasive-ness will have no end.
