Encryption, cybersecurity
With Trump’s win, it’s still not clear what a Trump administration would do on the issues of cybersecurity and encryption. As Ars reported last month, Trump and his campaign team have been vague on many such details. During the presidential debates, he brushed off the intelligence community’s consensus that the attacks against the Democratic National Committee were perpetrated or silently condoned by the Russian government. But Trump did call for a boycott of Apple—a boycott he didn’t even abide by—during Cupertino’s fight with federal prosecutors about whether Apple should be forced to help the authorities unlock a killer’s encrypted iPhone.
Like most of his other policies, Trump’s cybersecurity plan remains thin. It calls for an “immediate review of all US cyber defenses and vulnerabilities, including critical infrastructure, by a Cyber Review Team of individuals from the military, law enforcement, and the private sector.”
