However, in 1991, computer scientist Phil Zimmermann released a new type of encryption software called <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cypherspace.org\/adam\/timeline\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pretty Good Privacy<\/a> (PGP). It was free, open-source software available on the internet that anyone could download. PGP allowed people to exchange email and files securely, accessible only to those with the shared decryption key, in ways similar to highly secured government systems.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                        <!-- TechX - News - In-article --><\/p>\n<p>Following an investigation into Zimmermann, the U.S. government came to realize that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1996\/01\/12\/business\/data-secrecy-export-case-dropped-by-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">technology develops faster than law<\/a> and began to explore remedies. It also began to understand that once something is placed on the internet, neither laws nor policy can control its global availability.<\/p>\n<p>Fearing that terrorists or criminals might use such technology to plan attacks, arrange financing or recruit members, the Clinton administration advocated a system called the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.epic.org\/crypto\/clipper\/\" target=\"_blank\">Clipper Chip<\/a>, based on a concept of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nap.nationalacademies.org\/read\/5131\/chapter\/10\" target=\"_blank\">key escrow<\/a>. The idea was to give a trusted third party access to the encryption system and the government could use that access when it demonstrated a law enforcement or national security need.<\/p>\n<p>Clipper was based on the idea of a &#8220;golden key,&#8221; namely, a way for those with good intentions\u2014intelligence services, police\u2014to access encrypted data, while keeping people with bad intentions\u2014criminals, terrorists\u2014out.<\/p>\n<p>Clipper Chip devices <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/congress-blog\/technology\/253123-clinton-clipper-and-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\">never gained traction<\/a> outside the U.S. government, in part because its encryption algorithm was classified and couldn&#8217;t be publicly peer-reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the years since, governments around the world have continued to embrace the golden key concept as they grapple with the constant stream of technology developments reshaping how people access and share information.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n    <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Governments continue losing efforts to gain backdoor access to secure communications\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\/?v=TImdsUglGv4\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"End-to-end encryption and backdoor access explained.\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-05-16T09:05:34-04:00\"\/><br \/>\n        <meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TImdsUglGv4\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/TImdsUglGv4\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n             <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Encryption Works - and How It Can Be Bypassed\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TImdsUglGv4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n         <\/p><figcaption class=\"text-darken text-low-up mt-4\" itemprop=\"caption\">End-to-end encryption and backdoor access explained.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Following Edward Snowden&#8217;s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/interactive\/2013\/nov\/01\/snowden-nsa-files-surveillance-revelations-decoded#section\/2\" target=\"_blank\">disclosures about global surveillance<\/a> of digital communications in 2013, Google and Apple took steps to make it virtually impossible for anyone but an authorized user to access data on a smartphone. Even a court order was ineffective, much to the chagrin of law enforcement. In Apple&#8217;s case, the company&#8217;s approach to privacy and security was tested in 2016 when the company <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/customer-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\">refused to build a mechanism<\/a> to help the FBI break into an encrypted iPhone owned by a suspect in the San Bernardino terrorist attack.<\/p>\n<p>At its core, encryption is, fundamentally, very complicated math. And while the golden key concept continues to hold allure for governments, it is mathematically difficult to achieve with an acceptable degree of trust.

However, legislators removed this from the final proposal after civil liberties and cybersecurity experts warned that such an approach would <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2025\/03\/win-encryption-france-rejects-backdoor-mandate\" target=\"_blank\">undermine basic cybersecurity practices<\/a> and trust in secure systems.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the U.K. government secretly ordered Apple to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2025\/02\/07\/apple-encryption-backdoor-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">add a backdoor<\/a> to its encryption services worldwide. Rather than comply, Apple removed the ability for its iPhone and iCloud customers in the U.K. to use its Advanced Data Protection encryption features. In this case, Apple chose to defend its users&#8217; security in the face of government mandates, which ironically now means that users in the U.K. may be less secure.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, provisions removed from the 2020 EARN IT bill would have <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2023\/04\/earn-it-bill-back-again-seeking-scan-our-messages-and-photos\" target=\"_blank\">forced companies to scan online messages<\/a> and photos to guard against child exploitation by creating a golden-key-type hidden backdoor.

In other words, creating what is essentially a software vulnerability to help the good guys will inevitably end up helping the bad guys, too.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                        <!-- TechX - News - In-article --><\/p>\n<p>Often overlooked in this debate is that if encryption is weakened to improve surveillance for governmental purposes, it will drive criminals and terrorists further underground. Using different or homegrown technologies, they will still be able to exchange information in ways that governments can&#8217;t readily access. But everyone else&#8217;s digital security will be needlessly diminished.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of online privacy and security is especially dangerous for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.colby.edu\/story\/reporters-targeted-by-doj-receive-colbys-lovejoy-award-for-courage-in-journalism\/\" target=\"_blank\">journalists<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brennancenter.org\/our-work\/analysis-opinion\/police-social-media-monitoring-chills-activism\" target=\"_blank\">activists<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.internetsociety.org\/blog\/2020\/12\/how-strong-encryption-can-protect-survivors-of-domestic-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\">domestic violence survivors<\/a> and other at-risk communities around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Encryption obeys the laws of math and physics, not politics.
