“Security experts have long said that any potential backdoors into encrypted communications or ways to decrypt services would undermine the overall security of the encryption. If law enforcement officials have a way to decipher messages, criminal hackers or those working on behalf of governments could exploit the same capabilities.”

“Et si l’exode passe aujourd’hui de plateforme en plateforme, où il est facile de constater quel contenu est publié, qu’en sera-t-il demain, quand ces groupes dangereux dont le danger pour la société n’est plus à prouver, s’organiseront sur des messageries chiffrées ? Amazon, Apple et Google pourront-ils affirmer qu’ils ne tolèrent pas un service qui ne peut pas modérer les propos de ses clients, quand, technologiquement, il est impossible de savoir ce que ses clients racontent ? On peut craindre, dans les semaines qui viennent, qu’il s’agisse d’un nouvel argument parlementaire pour amoindrir le chiffrement de ces outils, pourtant si précieux — comme cela revient parfois en Europe ou aux États-Unis.”

“Un papier du coordinateur de l’antiterrorisme européen, publié en mai, suggérait la création d’une « front-door », par opposition à une « backdoor » qui elle « affaiblirait le chiffrement » et ne serait pas une « option désirable ». Ce jeu sur les mots expose les contradictions internes auxquelles se confronte l’UE : la « front-door » ne serait ni plus ni moins qu’une « backdoor » connue, mise en place avec le consentement des entreprises concernées.”

“In order to ensure the government is added to the conversation in secret, GCHQ’s proposal would require messaging apps, service providers, and operating systems to change their software so that it would 1) change the encryption schemes used, and/or 2) mislead users by suppressing the notifications that routinely appear when a new communicant joins a chat.”

“The inability of intelligence and law enforcement agencies to lawfully access encrypted data and communications poses challenges to law enforcement agencies’ efforts to protect our communities. Therefore, we agreed to the urgent need for law enforcement to gain targeted access to data, subject to strict safeguards, legal limitations, and respective domestic consultations”.

«One of the many advantages of having a robot run your organization is that it is immune to any outside influence as it’s guaranteed to execute only what it was programmed to. And because the Ethereum network is decentralized, you’ll be able to provide services with a 100% uptime guarantee».

«When a ProtonMail user sends an expiring message to another ProtonMail user, it looks like a regular email in the inbox. After the message expires, it is automatically deleted from the inbox and the sender’s outbox. In Gmail’s current implementation, it sounds like Google simply generates an email with a link. The message behind the link disappears after a while, but not necessarily the intermediate email. It’s also worth noting that Google doesn’t mention end-to-end encryption anywhere. A “confidential” message doesn’t have to be encrypted. It’s likely that Google could still see the content of that message and comply with warrants».

«’If you build a system where everything comes down to trusting the server, you might as well dispense with all the complexity and forget about end-to-end encryption,’ says Matthew Green, a cryptography professor at Johns Hopkins University who reviewed the Ruhr University researchers’ work. ‘It’s just a total screwup. There’s no excuse.’»
