Governments should not compromise or require third parties to weaken or compromise encryption standards, for example, through hidden “backdoors” into the technology as such efforts would weaken the overall security of digital data flows and transactions. The Internet technical community should be encouraged to incorporate privacy-enhancing solutions into the standards and protocols of the Internet, including the use of encryption of data in transit and at rest. Access to data should be legally warranted only where providing access does not unreasonably endanger the security of others’ data. Laws have to be updated and norms need to be established so that Internet companies, the technical community, law enforcement and civil society can engage cooperatively in seeking solutions as to how public security can be enhanced overall by new technologies, while the privatization of law enforcement, responsibility of human rights and governance is avoided."</span></div><div><br></div><div>--<br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Light",sans-serif;color:gray">Best Regards,<br><br>Matthieu Suiche<br></span><div><font color="#1f497d" face="Segoe UI Light, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:15px"><br></span></font><div><font face="Segoe UI Light, sans-serif" color="#000000" size="2"><i>This transmission is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
