Terrorists are using encryption. Our laws need to keep up with the technology (theage.com.au)

How's that law thing doing vs prostitution? I ask 'cause encryption can also be a roll-your-own enterprise too, very much so: done on air-gapped computers at each end; and just use XOR and a common random (one-time) pad at each end. That's not very sophisticated - just perfectly secure. Maybe show you can successfully eliminate prostitution merely by passing laws first, and then impress me by unveiling laws that can do the same to prevent or open up any and all encryption.


Sounds like a politician who dosen't know how e2e encryption works... And giving the government unfettered access to everyone's communications is a terrible idea anyway; the whole "you-shouldn't-have-anything-to-hide" mentality is BS.
