CEPIS’ Legal and Security Issues Special Interest Network (LSI SIN) calls for the rejection of a planned resolution in the Council of Ministers, which would grant authorities special access to encrypted communication between EU citizens. The special access, or ‘master key’, will weaken end-to-end encryption, and endangers digitisation in Europe, the LSI network warns.
The European Commission and Parliament are also called upon to stand up for European data protection. With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU has managed in recent years to create a competitive advantage for the European digital economy and laid the foundations for its technological sovereignty.
