The Australian Parliament recently gave a green light to an
"anti-encryption" law i.e. the Assistance and Access Bill, broadly recognized by numerous U.S. tech giants, to give the nation's intelligence and
law enforcement agencies access to end-to-end encrypted communications.
The bill passed, regardless of vocal opposition from cyber security
and technology groups far and wide who cautioned that even secondary passages
structured solely for law implementation will without a doubt is exploited by
those keen to make way to potential cyber-attacks.
Portrayed as a "secondary passage" or
"backdoor" the move is said to, in a general sense debilitate
Australia's cyber security and perhaps the other users of these innovations as
well.
There is additionally a "far reaching concern"
that this law will eventually have a negative impact on the employment status
from the Australian technology firms as the global network will never again
trust these products.
Lawmakers, who in the present digital economy ought to work to close the "cyber exposure gap", not augment it are rather debilitating
Australia's overall cyber security posture, with causing a major impact to the
economic outcomes also.
There is no denying the fact that law implementation
organizations around the world face reasonable difficulties,
however laws that debilitate encryption are the wrong solution.
Therefore, as opposed to following Australia's hazardous
point of reference, other nations must work to guarantee open wellbeing while
likewise shutting the "cyber exposure gap" and reinforcing cyber
security standards for all devices. The dangers related with Australia's
activity ought not to be downplayed because cyber security is as much important
as national security.
