16 Oct Cisco: Australian Anti-Encryption Bill Will Create Backdoors
Networking giant Cisco recently criticized the Australian government and said that its Assistance and Access Bill will create “backdoors” which it defines as any surveillance capability that is intentionally created but not transparently disclosed.
Cisco elaborated that the bill would result in the creation of a backdoor since it would require via a [Technical Capability Notice] the creation of a capability while simultaneously preventing the [communication providers] from documenting the existence of that capability.
The firm added that in order to maintain consumer trust, any form of surveillance in its products has to be publicly disclosed.
