So who watches the watchers?
Will the FBI agree to have their encryption open?
Encryption should not provide an “unfettered space” for criminals to hide behind, FBI Director Christopher Wray said today in an interview at the RSA conference, a cybersecurity event in San Francisco.
As noted by CNET, Wray said that while the FBI is not seeking backdoors in electronics, encryption needs to have limitations.
“It can’t be a sustainable end state for there to be an entirely unfettered space that’s utterly beyond law enforcement for criminals to hide,” Wray said, echoing a position that law enforcement officials have taken on encryption time and time again.
