Description
Advancements in cryptography and the digital telephone could make it nearly impossible for law enforcement and regulatory agencies to monitor electronic communications, as they are capable of doing with traditional communications technologies. Governments around the world are already looking at new tools to guarantee such access, but these tools could seriously compromise communications privacy for both individuals and companies. In keeping with the nature of this topic, this text has been written by the President of a data security firm (Schneier) and an active attorney (Banisar). Together they have compiled a collection of previously secret government and industry documents detailing initiatives and strategies in this area.
