Dr Wael Aggan, CEO of CloudMask reacts to David Cameron’s plans for encryption: “David Cameron should not be convincing companies to offer less security to their customers. He should be doing just the opposite. The law specifically ensures that companies are not required to be an agent of the state but rather serve their own IP and the privacy interests of their customers.
Mr. Cameron is trying to convince the world that some fantasy version of security is possible—where "good guys" can have a back door or extra key to your home but bad guys could never use it. Anyone with even a basic understanding of security can tell you that's just not true.
The issue is much bigger than secure emails and chats, it is about the safety of our society and the lives of our citizens. Just imagine removing encryption for controllers of our infrastructure. Mr. Cameron’s proposal is a disaster for all of us.”
