- This paper is a definitive rebuttal, by a group of leading cryptographers, of attempts by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to compel service providers to redesign their encryption to give the agencies access to user data. The work has been widely cited in policy circles and has led to many invitations to speak at policy events, including a debtae between Anderson and Ian Levy of GCHQ at Usenix Security. The paper informed and assisted the pushback by companies like Apple against pressure from the FBI to change their operating systems to allow easier access to seized mobile phones.
