Trump administration reportedly considering ban on end-to-end encryption

Encryption in everyday devices should be an industry-wide standard, but many world governments are still fiercely opposed to the idea. End-to-end encryption makes it possible to send messages that can only be read by the recipient, meaning both hackers and law enforcement are out of luck. According to a new report, senior U.S. officials are debating a possible encryption ban.

According to Politico, senior officials in the Trump administration met recently to discuss if the government should seek a ban on types of encryption that law enforcement can't break — effectively outlawing end-to-end encryption.
