[Cryptography] This is not the end...

[Perry E. Metzger]

The FBI dropping its request under the All Writs Act, regardless of
its short term motives, is clearly not the end of Crypto War Mk. II

We can expect to see those who would eliminate our best tools for
computer and internet security for their own short term gain return
to attack again soon.

Next time, the world's technologists need to be much better prepared.
In particular, we need to explain to the media, right now, early and
often, that this is not about concealing your porn habits from
your spouse, but rather about making sure that malefactors cannot
break into SCADA systems and make nuclear reactors go critical.

We cannot rest, as short sighted and technologically illiterate
politicians will not rest.
