Carly Fiorina Says Government Needs a Way To "Work Around" Encryption (dailydot.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-think-I've-heard-this-before dept.

Patrick O'Neill writes: Carly Fiorina wants the government to be able to "work around" encryption to aid intelligence agencies and law enforcement in their investigations, she said on Monday. The Republican presidential candidate and former HP CEO shifted the focus of her campaign to national security two days before the last Republican debate of 2015. Fiorina is the latest but not the first presidential candidate to weigh in on the encryption debate that has taken on a new life since terrorist attacks in Paris and California.

    I propose the death penalty for anyone in government that thinks that back doors in encryption are a good idea. A work-around is a back door. NOW OFF WITH HER HEAD!
