Only intercepting agencies will have the ability to serve such warrants, which must be authorised by the Secretary of State. The draft Bill will not impose any additional requirements in relation to encryption over and above the existing obligations in RIPA<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In fairness the original <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/2000\/23\/part\/III\" target=\"_blank\">Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000<\/a><\/strong> (RIPA) also contained a similar clause, although the new wording could be interpreted as being both stricter and wider in scope. Mind you RIPA was also declared &#8220;<em>invalid<\/em>&#8221; by the <a href=\"http:\/\/europa.eu\/about-eu\/institutions-bodies\/court-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\">European Court of Justice<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/07\/government-softens-uk-isp-internet-snooping-bill-via-key-amendments.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and the same temporary replacement legislation is currently being disputed as part of a <strong>Judicial Review<\/strong> case.<\/p>\n<p>Apple, which is very influential given the huge popularity of their <strong>iPhone<\/strong> and <strong>iPad<\/strong> computers, is trying to ensure that its hardware also has a good reputation for security. One of the ways they do that is by providing <strong>end-to-end encryption<\/strong>, where the keys are generated automatically for each conversation between individuals and thus not even Apple can read what has been said.<\/p>\n<p>However Apple&#8217;s position, which is also adopted by many other companies and communications services, presents a point of conflict with the new law.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Tim Cook, Apple&#8217;s CEO, said (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/apple\/11984806\/Apples-Tim-Cook-declares-the-end-of-the-PC-and-hints-at-new-medical-product.html\" target=\"_blank\">Telegraph<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>To protect people who use any products, you have to encrypt. You can just look around and see all the data breaches that are going on [ISPr ED: For example, the cyber-attack on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>]. These things are becoming more frequent. They can not only result in privacy breaches but also security issues. We believe very strongly in end to end encryption and no back doors.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We don\u2019t think people want us to read their messages. We don\u2019t feel we have the right to read their emails. Any backdoor is a backdoor for everyone. Everybody wants to crack down on terrorists. Everybody wants to be secure. The question is how. Opening a backdoor can have very dire consequences<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s not the case that encryption is a rare thing that only two or three rich companies own and you can regulate them in some way. Encryption is widely available &#8230; If you halt or weaken encryption, the people that you hurt are not the folks that want to do bad things. It\u2019s the good people. The other people know where to go<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Encryption is of course used all over the place, for everything from securing your credit card transactions to keeping private messages.. private, as Apple do. It is an essential tool and one that only works if the decryption keys are kept hidden, sometimes even from the service owner. Similarly if we weaken encryption then the software and systems supplied by UK firms may be perceived as unsafe and that could hurt international businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly terrorists and criminals can use these features too and the Government are naturally worried about that, although security experts warn that you can\u2019t allow one state or group to have special access and expect that not to be abused by others (e.g. hackers or less democratic countries). It&#8217;s a catch-22 sort of problem.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand UK law cannot extend too far outside of its own borders and thus there will always be remote servers and services that cyber criminals and terrorists can use, including those that aren&#8217;t controlled by any country, company or government. No law will cover the entirety of the problem and instead you end up weakening the security of ordinary citizens in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically perhaps <strong>Ciaran Martin<\/strong>, Director General of Cyber Security at GCHQ, just told UK companies to improve their security because the country faced a &#8220;<em>chronic, advanced and persistent<\/em>&#8221; threat from hackers and attacks on critical infrastructure, which Martin suggested could bring the nation to a standstill.
