About Encryption

[rossenpavlov]

Encryption is a technology very few people understand how it works and I am no exception. If we try to skip the technicalities of encryption and focus on its applications we see that in the digital age it plays a major role in keeping our information safe. The way we interact with the internet is encrypted so our passwords, bank accounts or crypto coins are safe. If this information goes to the wrongs hands you can loose all your digital assets. That's why when governments want to tackle with this code things start to get a little messy. As it is the case with Apple who refuses to create a cancer code that will enable the police to access data from phones of criminals. There are many implications how encryption is already affecting our lives, and the crypto revolution is also one of them.

I'm going to leave you with John Oliver​, who will take it from here...

Thanks for that mate, I missed this piece by JO and it's one of his good ones!

I find it really funny when government officials (usually old people, disconnected from new tech advancements) try to justify their ridiculous tech-related policies. It's just embarrassing. Even if they force Apple to have this backdoor, it won't help fighting terrorism in any way. Bad guys will just stop using Apple phones, or use additional software encryption in their messages.
