Given the European Commission’s aim to enable lawful access to encrypted data, how can we reconcile this with the technical consensus that introducing such access points inherently weakens encryption?
While “lawful access to encrypted data based on a warrant” sounds very reasonable, this is a very hard problem to crack. Everyone understands how warrants have been used in the past to open physical mail sent to a person or to search specific offices or the house of a suspect. But shifting the same powers to the digital domain in a proportional way is really difficult.
