Book excerpt: Should the government have the ability to lawfully access encrypted technology and communications? This is the question at the center of a heated public debate, catalyzed when the FBI obtained a court order to compel Apple to assist in unlocking an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. Strong encryption has existed for decades. For years, motivated individuals have had access to the tools necessary to conceal their activities from law enforcement. And for years, the government has repeatedly tried to limit the use of or obtain access to encrypted data. The most notable example occurred in the 1990s when the development of encrypted communications equipment sparked fears that the government would lose its ability to conduct lawful surveillance. In response, the NSA developed a new encryption chip called the Clipper Chip that would enable encrypted communications, but would also provide the government with a key to access those communications, if necessary. This so-called back door sparked intense debate between the government and the technology community about the benefits and risks of government access to encrypted technology. So what has changed in recent years to renew the debate? Part of the concern is, once again, the rapid expansion of technology. At its core, however, this debate is about the widespread availability of encryption, by default. While encryption has existed for decades, until recently, it was complex, cumbersome, and hard to use. The decision by companies like Apple and the messaging application WhatsApp to provide default encryption means more than a billion people, including some living in countries with repressive governments, have the benefit of easy, reliable encryption. At the same time, however, criminals and terrorists have the same access to secure means of communication, and they will use it as their own mission control center.

This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encryption protects information stored on smartphones, laptops, and other devices - in some cases by default. Encrypted communications are provided by widely used computing devices and services - such as smartphones, laptops, and messaging applications - that are used by hundreds of millions of users. Individuals, organizations, and governments rely on encryption to counter threats from a wide range of actors, including unsophisticated and sophisticated criminals, foreign intelligence agencies, and repressive governments. Encryption on its own does not solve the challenge of providing effective security for data and systems, but it is an important tool. At the same time, encryption is relied on by criminals to avoid investigation and prosecution, including criminals who may unknowingly benefit from default settings as well as those who deliberately use encryption. Thus, encryption complicates law enforcement and intelligence investigations. When communications are encrypted "end-to-end," intercepted messages cannot be understood. When a smartphone is locked and encrypted, the contents cannot be read if the phone is seized by investigators. Decrypting the Encryption Debate reviews how encryption is used, including its applications to cybersecurity; its role in protecting privacy and civil liberties; the needs of law enforcement and the intelligence community for information; technical and policy options for accessing plaintext; and the international landscape. This book describes the context in which decisions about providing authorized government agencies access to the plaintext version of encrypted information would be made and identifies and characterizes possible mechanisms and alternative means of obtaining information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The political landscape in France is worrisomely ripe for the enactment of new laws or policies that could undermine the security of encrypted products and services in the name of national security. However, French lawmakers have not (yet) passed any law that would clearly require providers of encrypted products and services to redesign their secure services to ensure government access on demand, which would effectively ban strong encryption products without “backdoors” for surveillance. Under these conditions, it seems that the encryption debate in France is just beginning—and could end abruptly in favor of backdoors in the face of another major terror attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The announcement of the Clipper chip by the U.S. Government in April 1993 set off a frenzy of discussions about cryptography policy in the technological community. The shock waves from it ultimately included front page treatment in The New York Times, repeated questions to the Vice President, creation of several new newsgroups on the Internet, and some very productive public discussions about striking the balance between national security, law enforcement, and civil liberties. We still don't have good answers for some of the questions that have been raised. As the Global Information Infrastructure is being built, we are writing portions of the Constitution for Cyberspace. I've been fortunate to have a front row seat and to share much of this with my students. The original reading and selection of materials was made by the first cohort of students* in The George Washington University Accel erated Master of Science Program in Telecommunications and Com puters at the Ashburn, Virginia campus. They worked many long hours-reading, debating, and selecting materials for this book. In addition, Bob Patton spent a great deal of time scanning and editing the material. Nestor Torres prepared the index. And Harish Nalinak shan provided an enormous amount of technical and administrative assistance and kept the project on track as new developments took place in the debate and new papers and legislation reflected these. As with most readings books, some of the selections cover similar material. We have tried to hold this duplication to an acceptable level.
Download or read book Moving the Encryption Policy Conversation Forward written by Encryption Working Group and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The group behind this paper—including former government officials, business representatives, privacy and civil rights advocates, law enforcement experts, and computer scientists—came together believing that more common ground is attainable and that the discussion can be best honed through specific, honest, and open-minded discussion among diverse perspectives. Our goals are: (1) to engage in and promote a more pragmatic and constructive debate on the benefits and challenges of the increasing use of encryption; (2) to identify specific areas where greater common ground may be possible; and (3) to propose potentially more fruitful ways to evaluate the societal impact, including both benefits and risks, of any proposed approaches that address the impasse over law enforcement access to encrypted data. We should highlight that we approach this issue from the point of view of stakeholders in the United States and discuss our framework for evaluating approaches in the U.S. context with policymakers at the national level as the target audience.
Download or read book Crypto Politics written by Linda Monsees and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines current debates about the politics of technology and the future of democratic practices in the digital era. The volume centres on the debates on digital encryption in Germany and the USA, during the aftermath of Edward Snowden’s leaks, which revolved around the value of privacy and the legitimacy of surveillance practices. Using a discourse analysis of mass media and specialist debates, it shows how these are closely interlinked with technological controversies and how, as a result, contestation emerges not within one public sphere but within multiple expert circles. The book develops the notion of ‘publicness’ in order to grasp the political significance of these controversies, thereby making an innovative contribution to Critical Security Studies by introducing digital encryption as an important site for understanding the broader debates on cyber security and surveillance. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, science and technology studies, and International Relations.

Download or read book Democratizing Cryptography written by Rebecca Slayton and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1970s, Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman invented public key cryptography, an innovation that ultimately changed the world. Today public key cryptography provides the primary basis for secure communication over the internet, enabling online work, socializing, shopping, government services, and much more. While other books have documented the development of public key cryptography, this is the first to provide a comprehensive insiders’ perspective on the full impacts of public key cryptography, including six original chapters by nine distinguished scholars. The book begins with an original joint biography of the lives and careers of Diffie and Hellman, highlighting parallels and intersections, and contextualizing their work. Subsequent chapters show how public key cryptography helped establish an open cryptography community and made lasting impacts on computer and network security, theoretical computer science, mathematics, public policy, and society. The volume includes particularly influential articles by Diffie and Hellman, as well as newly transcribed interviews and Turing Award Lectures by both Diffie and Hellman. The contributed chapters provide new insights that are accessible to a wide range of readers, from computer science students and computer security professionals, to historians of technology and members of the general public. The chapters can be readily integrated into undergraduate and graduate courses on a range of topics, including computer security, theoretical computer science and mathematics, the history of computing, and science and technology policy.
