Hillary Clinton calls for cooperation on encryption
The debate over smartphone, app and data encryption rages on in the US. With the recent events in Paris only fueling the fire for those arguing for backdoor access, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke up on the need for cooperation this week. “We need Silicon Valley not to view government as its adversary,” Clinton explained in a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. “We need our best minds in the private sector to work with our best minds in the public sector to develop solutions that will both keep us safe and protect our privacy.” While the debate has gone back and forth for sometime now, reports that the Paris attackers used encrypted messaging services to coordinate last week’s events resounded the call for legislation that demands access for law enforcement.
