Analysis If the cops and Feds can't read people's encrypted messages, you will install backdoors for us, regardless of the security hit, US Attorney General William Barr told the technology world today.

While speaking at the International Conference on Cyber Security at Fordham University, in New York, Barr demanded eavesdropping mechanisms be added to consumer-level software and devices, mechanisms that can be used by investigators, on demand, to forcibly decrypt and pry into strongly end-to-end encrypted chat sessions. No ifs, no buts.
