The National Security Council is preparing to tell President Obama that the downsides include weakening the privacy of Internet communications. The FBI argues that it needs legislation to require access points into encryption platforms. The NSC drafted an analysis of three stands Obama might take in regard to encryption backdoors.

None of the options favors a law to mandate backdoors, the draft says.”]
