This aelevates from a braveial write of the Plivency’s strategic guidelines for the ministerial body for home affairs and fairice, which was rerented by the civil rights organization Statewatch.
As part of the Crypto Wars, the HLEG has been toiling behind shutd doors on solutions to the “wicked problem” of encryption (“going stupid”) identified by domestic politicians and spendigators. In essence, the aim is to allow access to metadata and communication data in authentic time for finish-to-finish encrypted services such as WhatsApp, Signal and Threema.
Belgium wants procedures via the “front door”
The Belgian Federal Police, for example, is pushing for a “front door” procedure that does not insist back doors in encrypted products. A law utilizement agency produces a normalized seek to the service supplyr, who then has to sfinish the desired data in plain text.
As part of the HLEG, the EU telecommunications standardization authority ETSI also pondered a “thinked authenticated entity” that would get and deal with an access key. The comprisement of such third parties is pondered by IT security experts to be an indisputable fractureing point.
EU Comleave oution wants to set up carry outation
“The fight aobtainst online and offline crime is a central worry for defendeddefending the EU’s inner security”, writes the Council Plivency in the paper. The results of the HLEG’s toil should therefore establish the cornerstone of “the European vision of effective data access for law utilizement purposes”.
According to the leaked minutes of a encountering of the EU Standing Committee on Opereasonable Cooperation on Internal Security at the finish of May, the EU Comleave oution intfinishs to current a roadmap for carry outing the set up aobtainst “going stupid”.
Civil rights activist cautions aobtainst an “innervous” set up
The accessible is to be faceed with “innervous decisions”, including a novel version of data retention, “which have already been consentn behind shutd doors”, cautioned establisher MEP Patrick Breyer. This Big Brother set up “must not become truth, if only because it was secretly concocted by a finishly one-sided, democraticpartner illegitimate secret group of observation fanatics”.
According to the Hungarian rulement, the EU should also “consent a more remendd approach to obstructing and combating extremism, radicalization, digrieffulviseation, aggressive extremism and anti-democratic tfinishencies on the internet and offline”.
New agfinisha in the fight aobtainst worry
It is meaningful to uphelderly “standard appreciates and the European way of life”. Further action will be consentn aobtainst the financing of extremism in all its establishs and “the exalter of guideation will be reinforceed”, the record states. “To underpin our remendd approach, it is time to enbig a novel counter-extremism agfinisha, covering a comprehensive range of strategies and meastateives”.
The EU should also reinforce cooperation between member states and international cooperation in this area. Limiting hybrid menaces from outer actors and foreign guideation manipulation is of central beginance.
EU wants to enbig “Smart Borders”
“Interoperability advertises the mutual exalter of guideation and also donates meaningfully to the obstruction, acunderstandledgeion, spendigation and prosecution of extremism and grave crime”, underlines the Plivency.
The EU remains pledgeted to virtupartner merging and further improving the IT systems for managing outer borders (“Smart Borders”) and the decentralized databases for cooperation in the area of law utilizement in the sense of automated transfer. These systems would become “even more effective thcimpolite the gradual introduction of the various components of a brimmingy interoperable IT architecture that complies with fundamental rights”.
Biometric super database in the making
Hungary is alluding to the big-scale IT erection site on which the EU has been finisheavoring to connect all existing European databases in the areas of security, border deal withment and migration deal withment since 2019. An overarching “identity data repository” is also computed. Under the banner of “interoperability”, a biometric super database is down-to-terrestrial being produced.
EU Comleave oution Plivent Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) has called on her depictated novel Comleave outioner for Home Affairs, Magnus Brunner, to “guide the toil on a novel counter-extremism agfinisha” and to refresh “law utilizement tools for access to digital guideation and data retention rules”.
