Watch if encryption doesn't become illegal as well. Goodbye HTTPS!

If it does, it would be ironic as right now there are laws on the books that actually require some businesses to encrypt their data and/or communications.

Considering the amount of liability we have already, I can't imagine any of the major banks are going to roll over on this one.

the way the government would do it is have an "encryption license" for HTTPS connections and stores and financial groups would have to have this license to allow encryption connection generation.
Keeping in mind banning encryption would work about as well as the last time the government banned something everybody uses. I seem to remember history class on this one... it gave the rise to the Mafia becoming an actual power... oh yea how did that Prohibition thing work out...

No, it will just become illegal for the average person to use encryption or a VPN service. Big businesses will be granted special permission to continue using them. |

Paralell decryption and NSA backdoors all but render it useless anyway. The reason you won't hear about it either is the gag order on the back end. |
