Asking Obama to protect encryption, and why that’s not enough

“The letter was signed by some of the most important cryptologists in the world, including the inventors of many of the key technologies behind modern encryption. The letter is a response to recent requests from the FBI and other agencies for laws requiring that backdoors and attack vectors be built into any encrypted system made by US companies. These backdoors would be specially created to allow law enforcement to snoop on the personal information of the company’s customers. Even if you trust the government not to misuse your personal information, this is very risky; any backdoor created for the government will significantly weaken software against other attacks as well.”
