“Contrairement à des pays comme l’Australie, où le gouvernement local a adopté une loi obligeant les entreprises de haute technologie à amoindrir la sécurité du chiffrement, la police suédoise empruntera la bonne approche : la voie allemande. Depuis plus de dix ans, les autorités allemandes ont commencé à déployer une souche de logiciels malveillants appelée Bundestrojaner (cheval de Troie fédéral) dans le cadre de leurs enquêtes. Le plan de la police suédoise est similaire et prévoit de déployer des logiciels malveillants dotés de fonctionnalités semblables à celles des logiciels espions sur les appareils des suspects. L’idée est d’écouter des appels audio ou vidéo chiffrés en temps réel ou d’extraire des journaux de discussion à partir d’applications de messagerie instantanée chiffrées.”

That may not sound like much, but it’s fast enough to steal an encryption key in seconds ».

In 2015, the FBI seized a Tor-hidden child-porn website known as Playpen and allowed it to run for 13 days so that the FBI could deploy malware in order to identify and prosecute the website’s users. That malware, known in FBI-speak as a « network investigative technique, » was authorized by a federal court in Virginia in February 2015.
