Former national security officials urge government to embrace rise of encryption
A number of former senior national security officials are urging that the government embrace the move to strong encryption by tech companies — even if it means law enforcement will be unable to monitor some phone calls and text messages in terrorism and criminal investigations.
In so doing, they are taking a position at odds with their colleagues inside government, including FBI Director James B. Comey. U.S. officials argue that without access to such data, they may miss critical evidence of a terrorist plot or a murder or kidnapping.
