Fantastically Bad Laws and Where to Find Them

Nate Cardozo, Electronic Frontier Foundation

November 2, 2018 2:30pm, in DC 1304

Abstract: Encryption is legal in the Five Eyes countries, thanks to our
victory in what’s come to be known as the Crypto Wars of the 1990s.
Computer security research is increasingly viewed as a boon rather than
a scourge. But time is a circle and once again, law enforcement and
policy makers around the world are calling for all that to change. In
this presentation, I will discuss in brief the history of the first
Crypto Wars, and the state of the law in 2018. With San Bernardino as
our background I will outline current proposals to weaken or ban
encryption, covering proposed and recently enacted laws in New York,
California, Australia, India, China, and the UK. I'll also touch on the
various attempts around the world to both facilitate and hamper the
activities of researchers... such as yourselves.

Bio: Nate Cardozo is a Senior Staff Attorney on EFF’s civil liberties

information, digital anonymity, online free expression, and government
hacking. His other projects include defending encryption, fighting
software export controls, preserving automotive privacy, and assisting
surveillance law reform efforts. As an expert in technology law and
civil liberties, Nate works on EFF’s Who Has Your Back report and

he’s not brewing beer with his EFF colleagues, Nate serves on the boards
of directors of the First Amendment Coalition and the South Asian Film
