     This week, the political heads of the intelligence services of
     Canada,
     New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States
     (the
     "Five Eyes" alliance) met in Ottawa.  The Australian delegation
     entered the meeting saying publicly that they intended to "thwart
     the
     encryption of terrorist messaging." The final communiqué states more

     encryption can severely undermine public safety efforts by impeding
     lawful access to the content of communications during investigations
     into serious crimes, including terrorism. To address these issues,
     we
     committed to develop our engagement with communications and
     technology
     companies to explore shared solutions."
     What might their plan be? Is this yet another attempt to ban
     encryption? A combined effort to compel ISPs and Internet companies
     to
     weaken their secure products? At least one leader of a Five Eyes
     nation has been talking recently about increasing international
     engagement with technology companies — with a list of laws in her
     back
     pocket that are already capable of subverting encryption, and the
     entire basis of user trust in the Internet.

     Before she was elevated to the role of Prime Minister by the fallout
     from Brexit, Theresa May was the author of the UK's Investigatory
     Powers bill, which spelled out the UK's plans for mass surveillance
