Bill That Mandates Cyber Backdoors Will Leave Front Doors Wide Open – CPO Magazine
A few weeks ago a group of U.S. Republican senators introduced the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act, a bill that would compel American tech companies to put backdoors in their products to give law enforcement access to customers data with a warrant.
If passed, the Act will put everyones data at risk, while reversing decades of work to make encryption stronger and personal data more secure.
Even for purposes of lawful access, no company wants government pressure to insert vulnerabilities in their products. Adding any sort of hidden backdoor access or decryption capability potentially jeopardizes a companys reputation and its business prospects.
Yet such pressure is reality in the tech industry. In 2016, for example, Apple famously refused an FBI request to unlock an iPhone linked to a shooting in California.
But its not just the U.S. government pushing companies to install backdoors. In 2018, a letter was issued by the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, consisting of the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The letter warned that if private companies refused to help authorities de-code encrypted emails, text messages, and voice communications, the Five Eyes governments might pursue technological, enforcement, legislative or other measures to achieve lawful access solutions.
Tech companies have faced such pressure to compromise privacy for decades. In the 1990s, the FBI floated the concept of key escrow, whereby software developers would copy the keys to every algorithm and give them to authorities upon request. In 2017, thenU.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein claimed that encrypted apps were protecting criminals like terrorists and drug dealers. Rosenstein acknowledged that the approach taken in the recent past negotiating with technology companies and hoping that they eventually will assist law enforcement out of a sense of civic duty is unlikely to work.
Why would that be? Do technology companies lack a sense of civic duty? A more likely explanation is that they know vulnerabilities are inevitably discovered and exploited. This turns their products into the cyber-equivalent of a suitcase lock made for the Transportation Security Administration. TSA authorities have master keys that can open any TSA-approved lock, allowing the agency to open your luggage without breaking the lock and damaging your suitcase.
As many people predicted when the program was rolled out, this vulnerability was soon exploited by hackers, allowing anyone with a 3D printer copy of the master keys and sell them on the black market. The same thing could easily happen with data networks.
As the Internet of Things ushers in an era of cyber-physical systems, network security is becoming a matter of life and death: instead of just disclosing your credit card information, a system breach could highjack the car youre driving or stop the pacemaker that controls your heart.
Think about the legal liability, reputational damage, and potential loss of life. What company wants any part of that?
Its sponsors in Congress will argue that the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act will keep Americas networks safe. Sadly, the effect will be the exact opposite. And tech companies know it.
Just as no organization wants to get hacked, no company in the world wants to install backdoors in their technology. Its just bad for business, as products are compromised, customers angered, and corporate reputations tarnished or destroyed.
Building a backdoor access that may be exploited by #hackers is a risk that no technology company is willing to take. #cybersecurity #respectdata Click to Tweet
Any backdoor makes us all less secure. As cyber security expert Bruce Schneier points out, you cant build a backdoor that only works with proper legal authorization, or only for people with a particular citizenship or the proper morality. If a backdoor exists, it can be exploited. Thats a risk no company is willing to take.

These encrypted iStorage hard drives and flash drives are the ultimate peace of mind for your data – Boing Boing
If data is worth saving to an external drive, shouldnt it also be important enough to protect?
Since setting up shop in the UK over a decade ago, iStorage has become one of the top makers of encrypted, easy to use and affordable portable data storage devices. And while not everyone needs multi-level security in place before someone accesses their files, iStorage products make steel-trap protection a standard feature in all of their flash drives, hard drives and even cloud services options.
Flash drives usually live up to their name, used for quick data transportation and transfers. But that pocket-sized convenience has its security downsides as well, including vulnerability to malware, tampering, hacking or just outright theft. With the datAshur PRO and PRO, you get an assortment of protection measures to make sure no one compromises or steals your data ever.
In addition to built-in full disk AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, both models also feature keypad protection. Set a unique PIN of up to 15 digits and without that PIN, no one gets to your information. The stick auto-locks the moment you unplug and with the brute force hack defense mechanism, all data permanently deletes with 10 incorrect login attempts. Better to be gone than fall into the wrong hands!
The PRO is available in sizes from 8GB to 128GB, while the PRO with faster read and write speeds is available from 16GB to 512GB.
When it absolutely must be protected...and its big, the diskAshur range of solid-state drives is ready to assist. Its got the same military-grade AES-XTS 256-bit encryption and coded keypad to shield all your data as the datAshur drives, plus truly spacious storage to accommodate virtually any files you need protected, regardless of size.
As with the datAshur models, data transfer speeds are the main differentiator here, with the HDD offering spaces up to a whopping 5TB, while the faster SSD version sports more limited capacity, but logs much faster transfers up to 361 MB/s read speed and up to 358 MB/s write speed.
With a lofty 4.5 out of 5 star rating among Amazon reviewers as well as the experts at PCMag saying these drives could be the ultimate in secure storage, you can feel confident that iStorage has your back.
But what if your data is in the cloud and out of your direct control? Most cloud providers actually hold the key to your encrypted data, but with cloudAshure, you can safely secure data yourself virtually anywhere you want to put it, from encrypting data locally on a Windows PC or Mac, on any portable data storage device, or even encrypting files shared via email or file-sharing software services. The key stays with you, making it virtually impossible for crooks to steal your data, even if they could access your cloud storage provider.
Prices are subject to change.

Facebook’s Rolling Out Touch ID and Face ID Lock Options for Messenger – Social Media Today
Let's admit it - part of the reason why messaging apps are seeing such a significant rise in usage is because we can say whether we want in a message thread, without fear of offending people or causing relationship rifts, upsetting relatives, etc.
That's why this is probably a good addition - as shared by social media expert Matt Navarra, Facebook is now rolling out Touch ID and Face ID lock options for Messenger on iOS.
That will stop people from additionally snooping on your Messenger chats.
Once enabled, you can choose how long it takes before your Messenger needs to be unlocked again with Face/Touch ID.
So for those overly paranoid about people checking their phone, they can lock it as soon as they've finished using the app.
Social media advisor Jeff Higgins also shared this video of the process in action on opening the app.
Facebook's been working on the option over the last few months, with Engadget sharing screenshots of the in-development tool early last month.
The addition is in line with Facebook's gradual shift towards improving messaging security, which includes its plan to eventually enable end-to-end encryption as the default setting for all messages. That plan has come under intense scrutiny by several government agencies, who believe that a move to full encryption will facilitate increased criminal activity in Facebook's apps. Already, various authorities have raised concerns about encryption in WhatsApp.
However, Facebook is determined to push ahead with its plan, and while locking your Messenger app is a smaller element in this broader process, it's another indicator of user demand for more privacy, and security, with their personal interactions. And worth noting, Messenger already has an optional 'Secret' chat modewhich is fully encrypted.
Now to see if it enables the same in WhatsApp and Instagram. Eventually, Facebook plans to merge the messaging functionality of the three apps, which also means that any functionality added to one is likely on its way for the others. It doesn't seem to make much sense that they would add additional security for Messenger if the other two are not protected, so it won't be any surprise to see Facebook launch the same for each app in due course.
Facebook told Engadget that it also plans to port the same option to Android in the near future.

Virtual and face-to-face connect to coexist: Zoom COO – Fortune India
What do you think of competition? What sets you apart? What do you have to say about competition from India, more specifically JioMeet?
We have been dealing with competition since 2011, when the company was founded. We have had to deal with very large incumbents in the marketplace from an early timeframe. We view competition as a good thing. It only spurs us to focus on what we can controlour innovation and our ability to deliver happiness to our customers.
It takes a lot for us to deliver Zoom in the way it is: a very easy to use, high quality, video collaboration service. And as I mentioned, the architecture is very important. The know-how around the globally distributed network that we have, even the user interface, the simplicity, the feature set, etc. These are all things that we agonise over and have agonised over in our development. And really take feedback from our customers to heartboth our free customers all the way to our paid customers.
I would say there is no one thing that makes Zoom special. I think it is a combination of all of that and an intensely focussed and driven employee base that really cares for its customer and its community. And I think that has helped us up to this point address competitive threats, and it will help us going forward.
About JioMeet, to be honest, I havent looked at the product. But I will say the factors that help us compete, you know, historically are going to be the factors that help us compete going forward, we are focussed on delivering a very secure, very reliable, and very easy to use product. And that we are going to focus on what we can control.
Having said that competition just makes you more hungry. There should be no difference to how that impacts Zoom today as it has impacted Zoom years before as well and all along.
There is speculation about Zoom being a Chinese company. Could you tell us something about its origins?
I will just say that Zoom is not a Chinese company. We are listed on the Nasdaq and our headquarters are here in San Jose. Our founder [Yuan] may be ethnically Chinese, but hes an American citizen. He's been in this country since 1997. His three kids go to the local schools. His life has largely been American by choice.
We were set up with the intention to provide workplace collaboration services, for businesses, and with the view that, if we can provide video conferencing or video collaboration services to enterprises. That would be sort of the holy grail for us. At the end of December, we had around 10 million daily meeting participants. And by the end of April we had 300 million daily meeting participants, and that has been the significant shift during the pandemic.
A lot of it are schools. Education has always had a big value for our company. Erics core passion in education, but it's also our employees core passion. We did a ground-up survey of our employees and education was one of the top three initiatives. So, it made sense when the pandemic hit, to offer countries across the world, the opportunity to have free service for schools.
I think I noticed the difference when we offered K through 12 services for free in the U.S. Suddenly everybody knew about Zoom. We started to get a lot of different use-cases that we had probably not anticipated, because largely we are focussed on enterprises. And the challenge we face going forward is how do we embrace and continue to allow to flourish these various use-cases.
Zoom was made for the enterprise, but individuals took to it in droves. Did problems such as Zoombombing and the like crop up because it wasnt being used the way it was envisaged to be?
Zoom was originally developed for enterprise use and has been confidently selected for complete deployment by a large number of institutions globally, following security reviews of our user, network, and datacentre layers. However, we saw more participation from standalone users, who have been using the platform to connect to their family, friends, and colleagues; increased usage by schools to continue the education processes, etc. A lot of such users are unaware of various security measures one should adopt while on a virtual platform, leading to issues like meeting bombing.
Zoom has recently launched the latest version, Zoom 5.0, that delivers one of our most advanced security enhancements to date with support for AES 256-bit GCM encryption, which provides added protection for meeting data and greater resistance to tampering. The version provides users with features like reporting a user, new encryption icon, and enhanced data centre information which allows more flexibility and security to users.
Let us talk about end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and endless speculation about whether it would be offered to free users. How do you end the speculation?
Well, let me end it right now. We are in the development process for end-to-end encryption. We have already announced that were going to have a limited beta. And then we are going to continue working on rolling out this product through the end of the year. It will be the first end-to-end encryption feature available on video collaboration. Its very hard to do and then it will be the first. What were trying to accomplish is to have in Zoom formats or Zoom scale I want to be very clear that it will be available for all customers across the platform, both paid and free. Were still working out the details, but we will probably deploy some sort of a one-time risk-based authentication for free users that use E2EE.
But at the end of the day, it is extremely important that we provide an opportunity for our customers to have communications that they believe are private and secure. I want to just make sure that youre aware that today even without E2EE, when our customers are using the application and are on the parts of the application that are controlled by Zoom, they have AES 256-bit GCM encryption, which is industry leading today.
All Zoom users will continue to use AES 256 GCM transport encryption as the default encryption, while E2EE will be an optional feature. This is because it limits some meeting functionality, such as the ability to include traditional PSTN phone lines or SIP/H.323 hardware conference room systems. Hosts will toggle E2EE on or off on a per-meeting basis. And account administrators can enable and disable E2EE at the account and group level.

Cryptocurrencies Have ‘No Way’ to Comply With US Anti-Encryption Bills – CoinDesk – CoinDesk
Multiple bills that threaten encryption are moving through the U.S. Senate and could pose a threat to technology that protects users privacy, industry pros say.
These bills include the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data (LAED) Act and the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act. While the LAED was only recently introduced to the Senate, the EARN IT act has been in the works for months, and has been amended a number of times.
Privacy advocates and product designers say such legislation would also curtail peoples privacy to a huge degree, fundamentally change existing technology and have an impact on everything from messaging and file sharing to privacy coins.
The government basically would have mass surveillance powers into all of our communications, said Zcoin Project Steward Reuben Yap, referring to the LAED Act. Its saying, Lets drop the pretense and lets just go for it. I think its really scary. Its not just about cryptocurrencies as a whole though, its really about freedom.
The bills in question
Sponsored by three Republicans, the LAED Act seeks to end encrypted communications by building in a backdoor for law enforcement to use. The bill lays out a legal framework for law enforcement to access encrypted data with a court order.
The explicit goal of the EARN IT Act is to curb the spread of child exploitative content online, such as child sexual abuse imagery, though its impact could be far wider. In an initial draft, this was going to be done through stripping tech companies of liability protections for the content that is posted on their platforms. These protections currently exist in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which prevents social media companies such as Facebook, Twitter and Reddit from content liability.
Under an earlier draft of the EARN IT Act, companies would lose Section 230 protections if they didnt follow the recommendations of a federal commission on child exploitative content. This could rendercompanies likeWhatsApp, which offers end-to-end encryption, liable for communications on the platform, unless they revoked end-to-end encryption.
They communicate using virtually unbreakable encryption. Predators supposed privacy interests should not outweigh our privacy and security, said Attorney General William Barr at an event the day the bill was introduced.
There is no way for Ethereum, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to comply.
Barr has long been a critic of encryption, dating back to his days in the George W. Bush Administration.
The most recent version of the bill gets rid of the commission idea, delegating power to state legislatures to bring lawsuits against companies. It also adds an amendment that explicitly protects encryption. But organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Center for Democracy and Technology and Internet Society claim the bill might respect encryption in name, but not in practice.
Tools like client-side scanning, which could be used to check for child exploitative content, employs software to check files that are being sent against a database of hashes, or unique digital fingerprints. If it finds a match to certain kinds of images, they could be blocked, with the recipient notified, or the message could be forwarded to a third party without the users knowledge. Organizations such as EFF have said this violates encryption on a fundamental level.
Tech companies increasing reliance on encryption has turned their platforms into a new, lawless playground of criminal activity, said Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and one of the sponsors (with Sens. Lindsey Graham and Marsha Blackburn) of the LAED, in a public statement.
Criminals from child predators to terrorists are taking full advantage. This bill will ensure law enforcement can access encrypted material with a warrant based on probable cause and help put an end to the Wild West of crime on the Internet.
Child sexual abuse imagery is proliferating at an alarming rate on the internet. In 2019, tech companies reported nearly 70 million pieces of exploitative child content to authorities. Criminals also often use encrypted communications. EncroChat, a encrypted communications platform, protected criminals and their communications from the police, until law enforcement managed to infiltrate it.
But weakening tools that protect everyones privacy may not be the best solution, say privacy advocates.
The impact on tech and cryptocurrency
Yap, of Zcoin, said many kinds of technology could be impacted by the bills broad sweep.
The LAED Act is aimed at electronic devices and operating systems. Providers of remote computing services are included, presumably to cover cloud computing services like Dropbox.
However, Yap said the bills definition of remote computing services can be stretched to include cryptocurrencies as well, because financial transactions are conceivably just another form of electronic communication.
Given the trajectory of this legislation, people in the cryptocurrency industry, especially those like Zcoin [that] are privacy-focused, will very likely be affected, said Yap.
It could mean that providers of a privacy cryptocurrency that provided service to more than 1,000,000 users in the US are required to insert a backdoor.
Privacy is not safe in their hands.
Ian Dixon, a Nevada-based programmer who previously mined bitcoin and runs a validator on a privacy-oriented blockchain network, said the bills are repackaged attacks on privacy, just with different language.
It doesnt really seem possible to enforce, but it would essentially make blockchains illegal in general, said Dixon. There is no way for ethereum, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to comply.
Matt Hill, the co-founder of Start9 Labs in Colorado, which develops decentralized internet tech, says he sees both pieces of legislation as falling into the same bucket, even if they are different in flavor.
The ultimate meaning is the same, which is that if you are a service provider of privacy or encryption, you are going to be subject to the whims of politics, said Hill.
We hope politicians and our political system stays rational, and upholds individual rights to privacy, but if they dont you are going to be subjected to force, whether its building a backdoor or handing over user data.
Hill said that even if these bills dont pass, the very fact theyre sitting on the table and being taken seriously should be enough of a warning sign for us to start thinking outside the political box.
Privacy is not safe in their hands, said Hill. So we have to protect privacy with technology, as opposed to with laws.
This is privacy-by-design tech, the kind that Start9 Labs develops, including a server that lets users run their own private networks and cut out middlemen who would otherwise have access to their data.
Start9 Labs tech is built such that it cant hand over any user data, even if legally compelled to, because it doesnt have it. It builds the tech but doesnt run the services on it. Given its products are open source, they can continue to run and protect user privacy, even if the company is shut down.
Encrypted communications are regularly used by people such as dissidents and journalists, and are often a means of protecting sources or organizing in authoritarian countries. There is a risk that if the U.S., which has long held itself up as an example of freedom and democracy, moves to eliminate end-to-end encryption, other countries would also follow suit, and use such legislation to crack down on dissent.
Finally, backdoors inevitably get used by bad guys, not just law enforcement.
Theres no such thing as a backdoor just for good guys, said Daisy Soderberg-Rivkin, a fellow focusing on children and technology at the R Street Institute, a policy think tank in Washington, D.C. This opens up users information to a whole mess of bad actors.
UPDATE: The section about the EARN IT Acts potential impact on services like WhatsApp has been updated.
