My Government Doesn’t Understand How Encryption and Cyber Security Work

Narendra Modi’s Government wants access to all your messages whether sent over online email services like Gmail or messaging services like WhatsApp, Viber, or Messenger. The draft policy forces Service Providers outside of India to sign an agreement under which the Indian government will prescribe the Encryption algorithms and key sizes.
