[1]Newsmaker Interview: Bruce Schneier on 'Going Dark' and the Crypto Arms Race: TP: Thinking about the FBI, is there is there a middle ground between the things that law enforcement wants to do and the people's right for security and privacy? Bruce: The middle ground is having less security and giving more access to people who want to break into systems - that's the FBI and the Chinese government and cybercriminals. That's the middle ground. Think of it as a dial. How much security do you want to have? How much access do you want? This notion that I can build a backdoor that only works if a [person with a] certain morality tries to use it. That's what doesn't work. If you're willing to have your nuclear power plant a little less safe in exchange for giving the FBI access, that's your tradeoff. (Via [2]The first stop for security news | Threatpost) A lightweight read that makes for a great resource when trying to explain this to non-security types. ※ Typical full disclosure as Bruce and I are part of the same organization.
