The Hill talks about secret keys, and I straighten out the problem.
Unfortunately, the Department of Justice and Attorney General William Barr have proposed requiring American technology companies to break this essential protection by providing what’s known as “exceptional access” to their encryption systems.
In theory, it would require companies to establish a mechanism where the government could compel companies to unlock particular encrypted communications when the government obtained a warrant to do so. Even if such a mechanism already existed, past experience suggests that despite their best efforts, the government would not be able to keep such a system uniquely secure.
When we want contracts autonomously enforced then we prove check exit and entry conditions. Adding the NSA back door means requiring warrant checks on a contract basis, that is out, out, out.
We can, however, have the contract agree, ex ante, to limits on activities. Limits and conditions we can carry inside he contract layer.
