The FBI Should Stop Attacking Encryption
The metamessage to me, especially in light of the Crypto AG disclosures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-...), is that backdoors have always been the principle means of signals intelligence.Intercepting the phones, tapping the lines, listening on broadcasts, surveilling deaddrops, compromising encryption, are all far easier than the computationally hard work of cracking strong crypto.And LEO / Intel don't like to break a sweat.
