it's not in conflict, just because you control of have the data doesn't mean you are allowed to access it - think phone companies listening on customer conversations What it does mean, is that realtime access to TLS connections is definitely not necessary to retain messages for criminal investigations, that can and should be done at the endpoint in control of the company, not in transit at network boundary. -- Regards, Hubert Kario Senior Quality Engineer, QE BaseOS Security team Web: www.cz.redhat.com Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkyňova 115, 612 00 Brno, Czech Republic
