In recent testimony before Congress, the director of the FBI has again highlighted what the government sees as the problem of easy-to-use, on-by-default, strong encryption.
In prepared remarks from last Thursday, FBI director Christopher Wray said that encryption presents a “significant challenge to conducting lawful court-ordered access,” he said, again using the longstanding government moniker, “Going Dark.”
The statement was just one portion of his testimony about the agency’s priorities for the coming year.
