FBI director James Comey has suggested that an international agreement between governments could ease fears about government-mandated backdoors into encrypted tech products. Comey suggested that the U.S. might work with other countries on a framework for creating legal access to encrypted tech devices. Privacy advocates are doubtful about the idea, but privacy experts are calling it unrealistic. The FBI director has been more vocal in recent weeks about reigniting the encryption debate. He said the tech industry can find an approach that creates government access, while keeping malicious actors out.”]
