According to PANews, Telegram founder Pavel Durov revealed that the European Union's 'chat control' legislation was nearly passed, but was postponed due to temporary opposition from Germany. The next vote is anticipated in December. France has been advocating for applications to conduct client-side scanning of all private chats, with exemptions proposed for communications involving law enforcement and officials. Durov noted that the legislation requires approval from member states representing 65% of the EU population to pass. Currently, Germany, Poland, Austria, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Finland, Luxembourg, and Belgium oppose the 'chat control' bill, preventing it from reaching the necessary threshold. French political figures, including Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, have expressed support for the legislation. Durov stated that he will continue to alert users in various countries, as the vote may be revisited in December.#EU #ChatControl #Legislation #PavelDurov #Telegram #Germany #Poland #Austria #Netherlands #CzechRepublic #Finland #Luxembourg #Belgium #France #ClientSideScanning #LawEnforcement #Officials #DecemberVote #EUVote #MemberStates #PANews
🚀 Cryptography's Role in Data Security Discussed by Experts
#cryptography #datasecurity #MPC #FHE #AML #KYC #ZKproofs #AI #contentmoderation #TEE #ZeroKnowledge #messageencryption #clientsidescanning #VitalikButerin #IanMiers #cryptosecurity
According to Foresight News, Professor Ian Miers, an expert in security and applied cryptography, recently shared insights on Twitter regarding the role of cryptography in data security. Miers emphasized that cryptography is a subset of the security field rather than a theoretical branch. He cautioned against the centralized storage of highly sensitive data, even when using advanced cryptographic techniques like MPC (Multi-Party Computation) or FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption), citing examples such as global AML (Anti-Money Laundering) KYC (Know Your Customer) processes or content moderation strategies.
Vitalik Buterin, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community, responded to Miers' comments by highlighting that content itself is often in plaintext. He suggested that anonymous posting combined with blocking features could be achieved through ZK (Zero-Knowledge) proofs, and AI-driven content moderation could utilize ZK proof algorithms with delayed publication.
In the context of encrypted message content moderation, such as chat control, Miers pointed out that neither TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) nor cryptography can securely handle servers viewing all messages. Buterin agreed with this assessment and proposed that client-side scanning could be a compliant method. He suggested that users could opt for local AI maintained by different organizations or choose to disable it entirely, eliminating the need for complex cryptographic solutions.#cryptography #datasecurity #MPC #FHE #AML #KYC #ZKproofs #AI #contentmoderation #TEE #ZeroKnowledge #messageencryption #clientsidescanning #VitalikButerin #IanMiers #cryptosecurity
