🇩🇪EU-Kommission plant keine "generelle Schwächung, direkte oder indirekte Verschlüsselungsverbote für alle Bürger wie z.B. durch Einbau von Hintertüren", so die Antwort auf eine Anfrage besorgter Abgeordneter. #RechtaufVerschlüsselung
🇬🇧#SaveEncryption: EU Commission tells concerned MEPs it is not planning to "generally weaken, directly or indirectly ban for all citizens, such as through the introduction of 'back doors'", #encryption.
@echo_pbreyer now, do we trust the Commission… 
@mmu_man @echo_pbreyer The whole point of that letter seems to just be the same daft idea: that we can create some kind of magical "lawful access" to E2EE that doesn't result in an effective backdoor.
@seachaint @echo_pbreyer about as possible as opensource DRMs 😄
@mmu_man @echo_pbreyer Yea, I mean if the commission think they can create a mathematical algorithm that can deduce the intentions of the person using it, then that's a breakthrough that's much bigger than magic backdoors, it would change everything. Come on Commish, publish your research, earn that Field's Medal
@seachaint @echo_pbreyer or maybe that's what quantum encryption is about: it's both encrypted and not 😛
@mmu_man @echo_pbreyer I thought that was just Google/WhatsApp's backup system
@echo_pbreyer and of course we can totally trust the EU commission why would they lie 😂😂😂
@echo_pbreyer and of course it's a joke! 😂 Everything is backdoored. Don't believe me? set up a BIOS password, enter a wrong one 3 times, you get a hash... Enter the hash here https://bios-pw.org/ and see how effective is setting a BIOS PWD 😩
@lvpha @echo_pbreyer Wow. That's... disturbing, if useful.
@echo_pbreyer that is terrible indeed... :(
@echo_pbreyer well, and still they push eTLS with fixed DH keys so the middleboxes still can decrypt the traffic.
@echo_pbreyer For some reason, I'm not entirely reassured.
