FBI chief urges tech firms to turn over terrorists’ encrypted info

FBI director James Comey calls on tech companies providing smartphone encryption tools to voluntarily find ways to turn over to a judge those messages suspected of being terrorist-related. Comey didn’t directly tie the use of encrypted messages to the recent terrorist attacks in Paris or San Bernardino, but those attacks have renewed discussions about how to gain access to encrypted terrorist communications. “The government shouldn’t be telling people how to operate their systems,” Comey told the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Comey’s written testimony confirms that the Obama Administration is not currently seeking a legislative remedy to deal with encrypted communications.”]
