Is A Total Ban on Encryption the Way to Go?
Is Encryption Safe?Yes, Encryption is safe. The amount of time, energy and cost to crack most modern cryptographic technologies makes the act of attempting to decrypt encrypted code an expensive task that is, virtually speaking, inevitable. Although encryption does have vulnerabilities that rest largely outside of the power of the technology. Meaning if you give someone a USB with the key or tell them it.
What is Encryption?Encryption is a form of cryptography that lets a user hide information others. Encryption uses an algorithm called a cipher in order to turn normal data into a series of seemingly random characters that is unreadable by those without a key in which to decrypt it. Those that have the key can decrypt the data in order to view the original text instead of the ciphered text.
BackdoorsA backdoor is potential access to the private key that decrypts code and allows anyone with access to the backdoor to see the data decrypted. Allowing anyone to see everything you send and receive.
Should we Ban Encryption?
As of right now the majority of the people that believe that we should ban encryption, works for the government in some way shape or form. People like having privacy and the fact that we can talk to our friends, families and co-workers without any third parties looking in on us. Although if encryption was banned then we could catch people before they commit a crime. We could also catch terrorists in our country or people trying to transport drugs into America, but I believe that if we do that then the people committing these crimes will just use another way of communication.
