Five-Eyes intelligence services to help Europe circumvent encryption
Strongly secured chats annoy secret services and prosecutors worldwide. On this sensitive issue, the EU states are now to coordinate with the powerful Anglo-Saxon secret service alliance.
In future, the EU states are to work closely with the Anglo-Saxon secret service alliance of the "Five Eyes" to circumvent secure encryption in digital communications. This can be seen from documents sent to the member states by the German EU Council Presidency and available to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. As "Five Eyes", the secret services of the USA, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada are cooperating with each other.
A report by the Austrian radio station ORF had already pointed out two weeks ago the similarity of the wording in the draft EU paper with a statement by the secret service alliance "Five Eyes" as well as India and Japan on October 11, which also demanded "lawful access to encrypted communication". Another paper from the EU Council of Ministers now substantiates this suspicion: The document called "Recommendations for the future handling of the encryption issue" is dated November 16 and has been submitted to the SZ.
The document is addressed to the EU member states and is a kind of handout. Point six states that governments should engage in a close dialogue on the topic with the initiators of the paper "End-to-End-Encryption and Public Safety". This is the declaration of the Five Eyes countries, as well as India and Japan, in which they call on companies such as Facebook to allow states access to encrypted content.

Threema boss: Master key for secret services "not possible at all
The head of the messenger service Threema has sharply criticized demands for access to private chat messages for state security authorities. "These demands for a master key testify to the inexperience of the authorities," Martin Blatter told Welt am Sonntag. Technically, he said, it was not even possible. "We don't have a master key that we could deposit. The encryption is done by the users and not by us.
"Criminals almost always already known to the authorities"
In mid-November, alleged plans by EU countries to ban the secure encryption of messages on channels such as WhatsApp caused a great stir. The German EU Council Presidency had drafted a resolution on the subject. However, the paper was vaguely formulated and did not go into detail about how security authorities should be able to decrypt encrypted messages. Nevertheless, civil rights activists and data protectionists strongly criticized the initiative.
Blatter also emphasized that in the case of terrorist attacks, the perpetrators were almost always already known to the authorities and on file. "This means that politicians have not managed to protect citizens". In the newspaper interview, he also spoke of U.S. secret services having forced manufacturers of routers to install back doors, which in the end were also used by China.
