An Open Letter from Researchers in Cryptography and Information Security
The choice is not whether to allow the NSA to spy. The choice is between a
communications infrastructure that is vulnerable to attack at its core and one
that, by default, is intrinsically secure for its users. Every country,
including our own, must give intelligence and law-enforcement authorities the
means to pursue terrorists and criminals, but we can do so without
fundamentally undermining the security that enables commerce, entertainment,
personal communication, and other aspects of 21st-century life. We
urge the US government to reject society-wide surveillance and the subversion
of security technology, to adopt state-of-the-art, privacy-preserving
technology, and to ensure that new policies, guided by enunciated principles,
support human rights, trustworthy commerce, and technical innovation.
