Admiral Mike Rogers, head of the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, spoke at a cybersecurity conference. He said the bulk data collection is in compliance with the Patriot Act. Rogers said there needs to be a “legal framework,” a “formalized process” for law enforcement to access encrypted communications. He wants to believe that such backdoors won’t weaken security or be exploited by criminals, John Avlon says. Avlon: It’s disappointing that, like FBI Director Comey, Rogers not only wants a backdoor in encryption, but also wants us to believe it’s possible.”]
