...they're apparently not yet entirely sure what data they want ISPs to hold on to. "We don't have any position officially about how long records would have to be retained or what records would have to be retained..."
Fav underwear brand, style & size? Surely there are other aspects of my life the DoJ/ISPs are welcome to maintain a dossier on but, at the moment, I can't think of any.
What baffles is how the DoJ, or any other federal agency, thinks pushing everyday sites & users into strong encryption is going to advance their cause. To divine intent out of massive quantities of cleartext is one thing, but decrypting it all to scan it? That bird won't fly ... unless they're sowing seeds for the acceptance of IP6 network-based encryption with centralized keys. Yikes! |
