The web’s creator has attacked any UK plans to weaken encryption and promised to battle any moves by the Trump administration to weaken net neutrality.Sir Tim Berners-Lee was speaking to the BBC following the news that he has been given the Turing Award.It is sometimes known as the Nobel Prize of computing.Sir Tim said moves to undermine encryption would be a “bad idea” and represent a massive security breach.Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said there should be no safe space for terrorists to be able to communicate online. But Sir Tim said giving the authorities a key to unlock coded messages would have serious consequences.”Now I know that if you’re trying to catch terrorists it’s really tempting to demand to be able to break all that encryption but if you break that encryption then guess what – so could other people and guess what – they may end up getting better at it than you are,” he said.
