U.S. Rep. Will Hurd chairs the House Oversight IT Subcommittee overseeing government cybersecurity. Hurd: “You can’t build a backdoor to encryption; technically, it’s not feasible” Hurd says he favors a 9/11-style commission that would study digital security matters. He says Congress and the nation need to have a “sober conversation” on the issue of law enforcement access to citizens’ private data. The Texas congressman says he isn’t supporting a legislative proposal that would require technology companies to give law enforcement officials access to encryption.”]
