Will Trump administration’s play to ban end-to-end encryption backfire? (goes to Silicone Angle)

Joining other western countries, the Trump Administration is said to be considering effectively banning end-to-end encryption by mandating back doors, according to a Politico report late last week.

End-to-end encryption is a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages. Providing the ultimate level of privacy to users, the system is also a bane for law enforcement because messages cannot be intercepted and read.

Law enforcement is making the push to ban end-to-end encryption. A National Security Council meeting heard Wednesday that effectively banning it by mandating back doors would make it easier for law enforcement and intelligence agents to access suspects’ data.

But ending end-to-end encryption would also create a security nightmare that makes it easier for hackers to steal data as well, a number of security experts told SiliconANGLE this week.
