Comment: Encryption under threat - EU to break WhatsApp privacy

August 2016 by Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange

In response to the news that France and Germany are pressuring the EU to let them break encryption in the name of national security, Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange, has issued the following criticism and warning.

An encryption backdoor is an oxymoron. The mathematics behind cryptography and the realities of modern cybercrime mean that a single ‘flaw’ in encryption technology ensures the failure of the entire system. This is a message that is resonating with voters: recent research from Open-Xchange found that 68% of internet users in the UK and Germany believe that building back doors into encrypted systems will make it easier for criminals to steal personal data.

Breaking encryption will put the safety of the people at risk. Encryption not only protects data, it protects systems, too. Systems that regulate and deliver power, run trains and fly planes, manage airports, subways, traffic lights - virtually all infrastructure of our modern world. They use the same communications infrastructure and tools that we do for our day to day communication.
