  Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

  DeCSS.

  I read this the other day… the issue they face is on the warrant side, cross border investigations have a 120 day lead time. So instead of actually integrating police and making sure time sensitive investigations get treated as such… They whine about PET.

  EuroPol seems to be something like the FBI… who operate across all US states. But in the EU the countries are still very separate and require such ridiculous things as proof and due process. And that’s fine… It just needs to be sped up.

    Europol is merely a clearing house, standards process and coordinating agency for how national police forces work together across the EU states. It has very, very little power. Unfortunately.

      based on this article, i would say it’s fortunate that they have very little power

        You’re assuming the national services are better, I suppose. In my experience it’s been the EU who has struck a better balance between privacy and investigative powers than the crap they’re pushing for nationally.

  If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.

  They’ve been trying to change that law multiple times for over a decade.

  Cracking Enigma was something that needed to been done.

    Kinda drives home another point too. Breaking someone else’s encryption is something you do to enemies. If you’re trying to break my encryption communication or installing a backdoor, you’re an enemy, simple as that.

    My eternal thanks to FOSS, and open encryption standards.
