The Return of the crypto-wars: protecting encryption.
summary
Argument that agencies built bulk systems to ingest and index everything and then removed earlier filters, originally designed to process 20 terabytes a minute, so analysts drown in data rather than do targeted work. Claims of widespread backdoors and weakened standards like the Dual_EC backdoor and Juniper modifications are cited, plus real incidents such as the OPM 21 million records breach. Industry consolidation (WhatsApp/Skype) and 30 billion crypto devices create attack surface while UK proposals enable compulsory industry assistance and big ass graph profiling and bulk hacking under warrant.
