"Robert Hannigan also said security experts must find ways around end-to-end encryption."
"Cooperation to target the people using it."
Interesting that those in positions of power want to roll back privacy rights for the average person. A lot of this is the same 'crap' (fecal matter) that was being spouted by the intelligence agencies back in the 1991 - 1993 time period over PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) by Phil Zimmerman. Quite interesting how he used the 1st Amendment and published PGP in book form to alleviate the export restriction problem (that appears to be accidental on first blush). What is even more interesting that even with the original source code that the government intelligence agencies were still not able to 'crack' it even to this day. (I am sure that some of us know that it could probably be cracked, but trying to within a reasonable period is not really possible nor effective.) This is just another piece of propaganda to convince everyone to give up more for the safety and security of the state, whether it is the US, the UK, or the EU.
Isn't this individual originally from the same agency that had employed the individual that "produced
" the so-called "Trump Dossier" for one of Mr. Trumps political opponents? About that, has anyone been identified as the 'original' requester of this 'intelligence product?'

I worked for a gov't agency providing "secure/trusted" computer systems. Most of the software was open source. We got the encryption algorithms from Finland. After the boxes were certified we were told we couldn't deploy them due to export restrictions on the encryption software. We explained that we got the software overseas so folks probably already knew about it. Made no difference. We had to uninstall the encryption software, and give insttuctions on how to acquire and reinstall the software... the Best & Brightest indeed!

When our long time allies tell us that Russia is penetrating our cyber security, we should take it very seriously. The GCHQ is a very good intelligence agency that shares information with us.
