   There are always levels of secure. It certainly is not just secure or not.

     “Australia’s spies and cops want ‘accountable encryption’ - aka access to #backdoors”

     “he outlined an argument that a dynamic tension exists between security and technology, Burgess added “encryption protects our #privacy and enables our #economy…and creates safe spaces for violent #extremists to operate, #network and #recruit.” #Burgess labelled encryption “clearly a good thing, a positive for our democracy and our economy” because it “protects #privacy, it enables communications and transactions.” But he noted it also provides #criminals with #anonymity, which is why #Australia has laws that make it possible to access encrypted messages.”

     @shaknais >Want another Optus-sized data breach?
     As far as I can tell, the optus issue was a typical web developer making all the information available from the internet from the right, easily guessed URL without a password, probably even over secure TLS.
     
     Backdooring encryption will cause massive problems in different ways of course.

     @peterrenshaw It's interesting that ASIO is so incompetent that they can't catch most criminals (who are quite stupid) with standard police work or legitimately targeted sting operations and instead need to rely of encryption backdoors.

     @gnu2 There are levels of secure, but backdooring encryption makes it completely insecure.
