Republican Sen. Richard Burr, pictured above, released a draft of the Compliance and Court Orders Act in the US Senate on Wednesday, along with Democratic Sen. Diae Feinstein.
Ron Sachs/CNP/AdMedia/CorbisYou've heard of giving up some of your privacy for the sake of national security. How about opening yourself up to more hacks while you're at it?
That's what opponents say will result if an encryption bill released Wednesday by US Sens. Diae Feinstein and Richard Burr becomes law. The bill, opponents say, furthers a fight that pits national security against cybersecurity.
Feinstein and Burr are pushing forward with the bill as a means of giving law enforcement and govement investigators access to encrypted devices and communications. Opponents like Chris Doggett, senior vice president of cybersecurity company Carbonite, argue the trade-offs in the bill are too high a price to pay.
"If the bill is passed as written," Doggett said, "we make it all too easy for a wide variety of actors out there in the world to access people's data."
The bill is similar to a draft leaked Friday, which was also paed by privacy advocates and cybersecurity experts. The version officially released Wednesday is still a draft that the senators will seek input on before formally introducing. The legislation is called the Compliance and Court Orders Act.
The crimes the bill seeks to address are serious: terrorist attacks, child poography, human trafficking and more. For years, lawmakers have expressed a fear of losing access to communications as they try to bring criminals to justice.
"I have long believed that data is too insecure and feel strongly that consumers have a right to seek solutions that protect their information -- which involves strong encryption," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Burr said in a statement. "I do not believe, however, that those solutions should be above the law." Burr is a Republican senator from North Carolina, and Feinstein is a Democratic senator from Califoia.
A similar bill died in committee Tuesday in the Califoia state legislature. The bill's sponsor, Assemblymember Jim Cooper, argued that it was vital for local law enforcement to be able to access the phones of suspects.
Since encrypted phones became the norm, around 2014, "Law enforcement has been severely impacted in their ability to prosecute in cases of human trafficking [and] child abuse," said Cooper's director of communications, Skyler Woacott.
But Doggett said the setbacks to cybersecurity are too much to stomach.
"This is exactly what we've been fighting against for so long," he said. "To prevent data breaches, to prevent intellectual property from being stolen from companies."
