U.S. tech industry appeals to Obama to keep hands off encryption
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/09/us-cybersecurity-usa-encryption-idUSKBN0OP09R20150609
In a strongly worded letter to Obama on Monday, two industry
associations for major software and hardware companies said, "We
are opposed to any policy actions or measures that would
undermine encryption as an available and effective tool." The
Information Technology Industry Council and the Software and
Information Industry Association, representing tech giants,
including Apple Inc, Google Inc, Facebook Inc, IBM and Microsoft
Corp, fired the latest salvo in what is shaping up to be a long
fight over government access into smart phones and other digital
devices.
