»The EU Commission announces new efforts to break end-to-end encrypted communications. This is according to the work programme of the Horizon 2020 research framework programme, which proposes numerous new projects in the area of „Civil Security for Society“ for the next two years. According to this, the Commission wants to spend five million euros on a platform for penetrating encrypted telephony.
The focus is on intercepting connections of the fifth mobile phone generation, which makes encrypted and anonymised connections technically possible.«
Vad man vill komma runt är att telefonens och SIM-kortets ID-nummer enligt uppgift krypteras i 5G-systemet. Vilket gör det svårt att sortera ut de kommunikationer som myndigheterna är intresserade av.
Den nya projektgrupp som skall sköta detta skall tydligen även fundera kring lösningar vad gäller kvantdatorer och avlyssning.
