Database Encryption Market Innovative Driving Factors, Trends and Growth Analysis 2020-2026 SoccerNurds - SoccerNurds

In this 2019 photo posted on the Palo Alto Police Department's Twitter page are Chief Robert Jonsen, left, and Officer Nick Enberg, who is holding an award for the number of DUI arrests he had in 2018.

BY KYLE MARTINDaily Post Staff Writer

Palo Altans expressed outrage over the attack of a sleeping man by a Palo Alto police dog and they called upon City Council to end the encryption of police radio transmissions.

Youre still not being transparent. Theyre still not being held accountable, said resident Raven Malone, who ran unsuccessfully for council last fall. Weve seen police officers even be promoted after using the n-word. I dont think those are Palo Alto values. I dont think we should settle for that.

Council ran out of time during its 90-minute study session last night on the police, but not before Mountain View resident Salim Damerdji told council its absolutely outrageous what happened to Joel Domingo Alejo.

Alejo is the man who was sleeping in his backyard on June 25 when he was attacked by a police dog being handled by Palo Alto police Agent Nick Enberg. Enberg, who had been asked by Mountain View police to search for a kidnapper, commanded his dog to repeatedly bite Alejo before discovering he was the wrong man. Now Alejo has filed claims against Palo Alto and Mountain View for $20 million.

I appreciate the chiefs words when it comes to transparency and accountability, but there was no accountability here for officer Enberg, and there has not been transparency when it came to this case, Damerdji said. I suspect that Palo Altos police department did not want to be as transparent about what actually occurred in this incident in the middle of calls for police reform last year, and its clear that police reform is absolutely needed in PAPD.

Speakers want cop fired

And resident Eva Tang said she was horrified to learn about Alejos attack by Enberg, and asked that the city reconsider keeping Enberg on the police roster. Many others are calling for Enbergs firing including Rev. Jethroe Moore II, president of the San Jose/Silicon Valley branch of the NAACP.

Tang said that Enberg was named as a defendant in the lawsuit from Tajae Murray, a Palo Alto High School student, whose family sued the city for injuries sustained from a 2016 police dog attack. The city paid Murray and his family $250,000 to settle the suit.

And Enberg was named as a defendant in another lawsuit from Julio Arevalo, who sued the city in 2019 after he was violently arrested by Police Agent Thomas DeStefano outside Happy Donuts on July 10, 2019.

She also pointed out that Enberg was one of two officers who shot and killed William Raff on Christmas Day 2015 outside a group home for mental patients at 652 Forest Ave. Raff, who was suffering from a mental health crisis, refused to drop a knife when he confronted the officers.

The District Attorney cleared Enberg of any wrongdoing in the incident.

At least think about the fact that hes making you look bad, Tang said. Please be more transparent and hold Nick Enberg accountable.

Police radio encryption

Council members didnt have a great deal to say about the dog attack, possibly because the city will end up in court over the incident, but they told Police Chief Robert Jonsen they were concerned about his decision in January to encrypt the radio transmissions of the police and fire departments. The decision never went to council for a public hearing or review. Last night was the first public opportunity for council members to question Jonsen about it.

Jonsen said he encrypted the radio transmissions following amemo from the state Department of Justice that advised police departments to keep certain personal information and law enforcement data off the public airwaves.

Councilman Greer Stone and Vice Mayor Pat Burt wanted Jonsen to come up with options that would protect privacy but still allow the public and the press to listen to police activity on the radio.

Stone calls it a First Amendment issue

I think this is an issue thats really impeding the First Amendment of the right of the press to do their job in being a check on our government, Stone said. And I understand its difficult to develop and implement a new policy, but the First Amendment sets a floor that we cant constitutionally fall below. And were not meeting that standard here.

While Jonsen said police have been searching for alternatives to the encryption, he said he hasnt found a viable alternative that he believes would work in Palo Alto.

Stone wanted to know why police couldnt leave an unencrypted police radio channel open for day-to-day police communications while using a second encrypted channel exclusively for communicating protected personal information.

But police officials were quick to tell him they cant do that.

Police Capt. April Wagner told Stone that because of last years budget cuts, the department doesnt have the number of dispatchers necessary to monitor police radio channels.

Last years cuts eliminated 11 vacant officer positions, four vacant dispatcher jobs, two lieutenant slots, a technical services director, a public information officer and a communications manager. A total of four people were laid off.

Wagner said other larger departments are able to communicate across multiple channels because they have more dispatchers. But in Palo Alto, Wagner said, there are just three during a shift, and they have to handle 400 calls a day for fire, police and utilities. For Stones suggestion to work, the department would have to hire dispatchers to run the encrypted channel during every shift, she said.

Stone said he had more questions for the police chief that he would email later because he ran out of time for questions.

Press cant talk to officers directly anymore

Burt said he is also concerned about the encryption and a second issue hindering the press the policy enacted last fall that reporters have to send their questions to police through a web portal rather than directly speaking to an officer. Then the department will respond via email perhaps a few hours later or a few days later. And the opportunity to ask follow-up questions, which would be present during a live interview, is lost with the exchange of emails.

Burt said he wanted the police matter to return to council and, in the meantime, he suggested police find a way to allow reporters to once again ask questions of an actual police officer.

He said he wants police to take as immediate an action as we can on a system of reporting police activity to the press.

Burt added he wants the city to contact its lobbyist in Sacramento to see if any of the states legislators would be willing to put a bill through that would prohibit encryption.

Deputy City Manager Chantal Gaines told Burt the city could lobby legislators to introduce a bill during the next legislative session starting in December 2021. The deadline to introduce bills this year was Feb. 19.

But Burt pushed for more immediate action, saying he wants the city to find someone who would gut and amend so that such legislation could be introduced in the current session, which ends in September. Gut and amend is a process by which a bill that was introduced early in the session is gutted of its contents and replaced with a new bill.

Palo Alto resident Rita Vrhel said police were completely taking away the transparency that has existed in this town for years by encrypting police radios.

Personally I dont want to defund the police, but I do want to hold them accountable, Vrhel said. And when something like this encryption happens overnight without public knowledge, it really does make ordinary citizens like me wonder Who is in charge of Palo Alto?

Cowboy activity

Vrhel added that council needs to do whatever they can to reign in this kind of cowboy activity, which really does not serve us well.

Similarly, resident Kevin Ma told council the encryption was done too hastily.

Mayor Tom DuBois said he wants encryption to be reversed immediately.

On March 8, Jonsen wrote to the Department of Justices chief of information services to ask permission to lift encryption through the end of the year so that the city could research alternatives to encryption. But Jonsen said that as of yesterday, he still hasnt received a response.

DuBois said he would rather the city reverse the encryption immediately for the rest of the year without asking permission of the DOJ and find a new solution to encryption in the meantime.

Drones

In regard to the dog attack, Jonsen suggested drones might help police search for people.

Mayor DuBois responded that Palo Alto residents wouldnt want the police to use drones.

But Councilman Greg Tanaka said other cities have been very successful with them.

Residents outraged over police dog attack and they want encryption to end - The Daily Post

The principle of end-to-end encryption underpins a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages. To this end, it exists to prevent any potential eavesdroppers (telecom providers, internet providers, law enforcement agencies) from being able to access the cryptographic keys needed to decrypt the conversation.

We remain deeply concerned, therefore, that the Council of the European Union is seeking to adopt new rules that would effectively do away with encryption. At the end of last year, they released a five-page resolution that called for the EU to pass new rules to govern the use of end-to-end encryption in Europe. We are completely against this resolution as it effectively ends the notion of true encryption.

Theres no such thing as strong encryption if you allow the institution of backdoors for government or law enforcement officials and dont believe any politicians who say otherwise they are, at best, ill-informed. The most important takeaway here is that encryption is either secure or it is not. Users either have privacy or they do not.

We strongly believe that encryption is the very foundation of the internet. Every citizen needs encryption to safeguard their data and to offer themselves protection against hackers and other malicious online forces. Politicians will argue that they see backdoors as an easier way to thwart all manner of crimes, ranging from terrorist attacks through to drug trafficking. However, by effectively quashing end-to-end-encryption, the government disregards all the other crime that effective encryption protects citizens from.

By calling on technology companies to find ways to bypass encryption so that law enforcement agencies can quickly access a suspects messages or device, we may end up with weak encryption. And weak encryption is, in our opinion, the same as no encryption.

We understand the need to combat online criminal activity in all of its various guises, but we do not believe that weakening encryption will solve that. Indeed, weakening encryption is actually counterproductive. For example, putting pressure on popular messaging apps to have a backdoor in their encryption doesnt deter criminals from establishing their own encryption services.

There is an impact on businesses, too. Many organizations use end-to-end encryption for protecting their trade secrets and classified information. And what about the impact on many of the apps that we all use to communicate? These apps are underpinned by a zero-knowledge ethos which means that users dont need to worry about being tracked or monetized and can exercise their right to privacy.

The Council of the European Unions proposed resolution is all the more surprising in light of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This model for data protection legislation is very much in favor of robust encryption as an elementary technology to ensure the right to privacy (for citizens).

Ultimately, adopting this resolution would severely undermine the trust that individuals and businesses place in end-to-end encrypted services. It also threatens the security of users who merely wish to share information securely. When politicians expect the introduction of encryption backdoors, they completely miss the point regarding security and privacy. They are effectively asking us to say no to security.

Encryption is either secure or it's not - there is no middle ground - Help Net Security

The UK is planning a new attack on end-to-end encryption, with the Home Office set to spearhead efforts designed to discourage Facebook from further rolling out the technology to its messaging apps.

Home Secretary Priti Patel is planning to deliver a keynote speech at a child protection charitys event focused on exposing the perceived ills of end-to-end encryption and asking for stricter regulation of the technology. At the same time a new report will say that technology companies need to do more to protect children online.

Patel will headline an April 19 roundtable organized by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), according to a draft invitation seen by WIRED. The event is set to be deeply critical of the encryption standard, which makes it harder for investigators and technology companies to monitor communications between people and detect child grooming or illicit content, including terror or child abuse imagery.

End-to-end encryption works by securing communications between those involved in themonly the sender and receiver of messages can see what they say and platforms providing the technology cannot access the content of messages. The tech has been increasingly made standard in recent years with WhatsApp and Signal using end-to-end encryption by default to protect peoples privacy.

The Home Office's move comes as Facebook plans to roll out end-to-end encryption across all its messaging platformsincluding Messenger and Instagramwhich has sparked a fierce debate in the UK and elsewhere over the supposed risks the technology poses to children.

During the event, the NSPCC will unveil a report on end-to-end encryption by PA Consulting, a UK firm that has advised the UKs Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) on the forthcoming Online Safety regulation. An early draft of the report, seen by WIRED, says that increased usage of end-to-end encryption would protect adults privacy at the expense of childrens safety, and that any strategy adopted by technology companies to mitigate the effect of end-to-end encryption will almost certainly be less effective than the current ability to scan for harmful content.

The report also suggests that the government devise regulation expressly targeting encryption, in order to prevent technology companies from engineer[ing] away their ability to police illegal communications. It recommends that the upcoming Online Safety Billwhich will impose a duty of care on online platformsmake it compulsory for tech companies to share data about online child abuse, as opposed to voluntary.

The Online Safety Bill is expected to require companies whose services use end-to-end encryption to show how effectively they are tackling the spread of harmful content on their platformsor risk being slapped with fines by communication authority Ofcom, which will be in charge of enforcing the rules. As a last resort, Ofcom could demand that a company use automated systems to winnow out illegal content from their services.

The NSPCC says that this set-up does not go far enough in reining in encryption: in a statement released last week, the charity urged the digital secretary, Oliver Dowden, to strengthen the proposed regulation, preventing platforms from rolling out end-to-end encryption until they can demonstrate that they can safeguard childrens safety. Facebook currently tackles the circulation of child sex abuse content on WhatsApp by removing accounts displaying forbidden images in their profile pictures, or groups whose names suggest an illegal activity. WhatsApp says it bans more than 300,000 accounts per month that it suspects of sharing child sexual abuse material.

Ofcom will have to meet a series of tests before it could take action on a regulated platform, says Andy Burrows, NSPCCs head of child safety online policy. That is about being able to require evidence of serious and sustained abuse, which is going to be practically very difficult to do because of end-to-end encryption will take away a significant amount of the reporting flow.

The UK Is Trying to Stop Facebook's End-to-End Encryption - WIRED

SCOTTSVILLE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Castle Shield Holdings, LLC, announces the availability of Typhos, its Secure Mobile Messenger application, which offers both end-to-end encrypted text messaging and Push-To-Chat (PTC) communications. Typhos was built around Cipherloc Corporations (OTCQB:CLOK) Polymorphic Encryption Core (PEC). The PEC is quantum resistant and FIPS 140-2 certified (FIPS 140-2 certificate #3645).

Typhos is the only messaging app (downloadable from the Apple Store and Google Play) that carries the FIPS 140-2 validation for mobile devices. Enterprise customers may leverage a cloud-based hosted offering or host the Typhos client-server solution themselves for complete privacy. Currently under development, version 3.0, will provide end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls, and will be available later this year.

Typhos brings complete privacy, security, and end-to-end encryption as its architectural foundation. In addition, the Typhos encryption is symmetrically quantum-resistant. This makes Typhos one of the most secure messaging applications, currently available, in the world.

We are happy that Castle Shield chose our patented, Polymorphic Encryption Core as the foundation for their Quantum-Resistant Architecture roadmap. Cipherlocs innovative PEC solution takes any existing symmetrical encryption algorithm, such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and makes it stronger, agile and scalable, said David Chasteen, CEO of Cipherloc Corporation.

Secure, Private, and Safe:

Typhoss end-to-end encrypted messaging enables enterprises and consumers to communicate securely. There is no need to download extensions or plugins. Typhos users have the confidence that their communications are secure, private, and their personal information is not being monetized.

Some communication apps do not have end-to-end encryption, while others added end-to-end encryption as an afterthought. Castle Shield developed Typhos with end-to-end encryption built-in from the onset. All data sent is encrypted in transit and at rest on the client- or server-side. User data is never accessed or monetized as is the case with other popular apps. This ensures that user communication is always secure and private, said Dr. Milton Mattox, CTO of Castle Shield Holdings.

Key Features:

End-to-End Encryption provides a secure user experience. Typhos is quantum-resistant incorporating FIPS 140-2 certified encryption which ensures that user messages are never intercepted by unauthorized actors.

Self-Destructing Messages allow users to send messages that automatically delete themselves. This ensures messages are fully erased from all chats when the self-destruct countdown sequence completes whether read or not.

Push-to-Chat is a walkie-talkie feature that works for both audio and video asynchronous communications between users. This allows for quick and secure audio and video chats.

Alias and PIN ensure that users are completely anonymous. The app does not ask users for their name or mobile number. Our login process is streamlined to make it easy and secure for users to quickly log in.

User Unique Code (UUC) is a random number so users never have to worry about their information being compromised or attached to a phone number. Users must know each others UUC in order to chat one-on-one or in groups.

Group Messaging allows users to set up multiple user groups for encrypted communications.

Chat Backup allows users to save encrypted chats onto the server. Backed up chats are always encrypted and are never decrypted on the server. Users determine if and when chat data is backed up.

Contact Information is only used if the user wants to invite someone to securely communicate via Typhos. Unlike other similar apps, Typhos does not notify users when someone in their contacts registers with Typhos. The use of Typhos is private to each user.

The Typhos app is available today through the Apple Store and Google Play.
