The French parliament this week will examine a bill that would require tech manufacturers of computers, phones, and tablets to build backdoors into any encryption on the device.
The anti-encryption bill is being presented by 18 conservative members of the National Assembly as part of a large "Digital Republic" bill.
According to the article, The new French bill briefly praises encryption’s role in protecting user data but immediately pivots to criticizing the effects of strong encryption on state security forces.
"France must take the initiative and force device manufacturers to take into consideration the imperative of access for law enforcement officers, under the control of a judge and only in the case of an investigation, to those devices," the legislation reads, according to a translation by Khalil Sehnaoui, a Middle-East security specialist and founder of Krypton Security.
"The goal is to avoid that individual encryption systems delay the advancement of an investigation."
The value of older computers, phones, and tablets in France is going up.
From the peanut gallery on the net:
"It doesn't matter if the wall you build is thirty feet high and six men can walk abreast, if you can kick in a door.
The weakest part of a wall is always the gates and these kinds of bills are trying to require extra doors with standardized locks to be used. No way this can be abused."
" The Paris terrorists used un-encrypted communications repeatedly prior and during the attacks
"Yes, please be the guinea pig and backdoor your encryption. Then when your banking system collapses because some idiot leaked the keys, maybe it'll light a light bulb in governments elsewhere."
"..then only criminals will have strong encryption. Why can't idiot politicians see this!? Legislation like this will do ABSOULUTELY NOTHING to prevent terrorism, it will only curb freedom of speech and the real security of honest, law-abiding, non-terrorist citizens!"
