“NSA director Michael S. Rogers suggested tech companies could create a master multi-part encryption key capable of unlocking any device, The Washington Post reports. That way, if the key were broken into pieces, no single person would have the ability to use it. ‘I don’t want a back door,’ Rogers said. ‘I want a front door. And I want the front door to have multiple locks. Big locks.’ Government and law enforcement officials say total encryption could stand in the way of national security operations, while leaders in the tech industry and advocacy groups say the government shouldn’t have complete, unobstructed access to citizens’ private communications.”
