European Union wants to regulate cryptography?
On both sides of Atlantic the debate around strong cryptography frequently resurfaces. Proponents of weakening cryptography or introduction of backdoors (or "golden keys") cite national security. Technologists and activists oppose such proposals, citing freedoms and cybersecurity. Regulating cryptography is of course a bad idea. It's true that cryptography can be [...]

We're often taught there's not only black and white, there's also shades of grey. However, not so in cryptography unfortunately. There's no "a little bit pregnant". There's only 1 and 0. If you want a backdoor you will lose all mathematically verifiable proof-ness and security.
nice post. thank you for the link.

The government just can't get the people who can get into computers. It is disk encryption they are scared of. And eventually there will be incidents made possible by geolocation, and people will understand what tor is for...
Blockchains are a way to do bureaucratic record keeping and will hurt the public sector unions and central banks pretty bad lol...

unfortunately, not so sure either. https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@herzmeister/intel-can-steal-all-your-crypto-assets
