The value of strong encryption cannot be overstated, but yet the efforts from lawmakers to force tech companies to create weak encryption has been put into overdrive. Bruce Schneier has been a vocal proponent of strong encryption for many years, and eloquently explains why it is technically not possible to give the good guys the access they want to encrypted files and transmission without also giving the bad guys access. Listen in as Schneier explains his thoughts about the most recent efforts from the DOJ and lawmakers to require commercial products to use accessible encryption. Schneier also answers questions such as: What would he say to AG Barr about creating such accessible encryption? What does he think about Zoom encryption, and security in general? What are his thoughts about COVID-19 tracing apps; are they sufficiently protecting privacy, and are they effective? What concerns does he have with online voting security?
