- Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol
- PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement’s ability to intercept and monitor communications
- Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.
[Answered] PET? Not the bottle i guess.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies. Some obvious things giving anonymity and plausible deniability but also zero-knowledge proofs and such.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies. A blanket term for anything protecting your identity (Onion, VPN, etc.) I feel like the people asking for this either have a very limited technical understanding of it or completely different motives. You can’t ban encryption. What they could do is ban VPN services from officially operating or certain protocols but that would mostly hit your regular user.
So pet-enabled routers = routers with built in vpn support?
PET technologies = Privacy Enhancing Technologies technologies
Good. ‘Lawful’ interception is total nonsense. They’d have a camera up everyone’s ass if they could.
As it is our TVs bloody listen to us…1984 is here.
Oh my! Encryption makes it harder to snoop uninvited into things that should not concern them in the first place! Shocking!
That’s going to be a recurring theme. Law enforcement starts scanning one thing, businesses, criminals and citizens start using something else. They’ll have to forbid everything that’s not open, but by then legal businesses stop using the net because all their secrets get stolen.
I get that that’s bad and that shouldn’t be.
But there just have been too many cases of unlawful interception (NSA and Criminal). So I personally don’t think we should move back away from encryption
Good! The government has no business in peoples’ homes.
Think of the children!
My main man, you deserve the wall for even attempting that shit, now you’re gonna complain we’re making it hard?
Good. Fk off governments.
I fixed the bulleted.

PET technologies does exactly what it’s intended to do–protect the innocent civilian from the prying eyes of the not innocent bodies that are hellbent on eroding privacy and security

Warning: non-transparent walls, window blinds and door locks prevent lawful interception and surveillance - how are the authorities supposed to know you’re not doing something naughty in there?
Clothing hides weapons! So do fat folds. Kill all the fat people and go naked for a crime free world in the new authoritarian bridge between Nazis and Stalinists for a wonderful Europe.
There are places a skinny naked person can hide things. What do we do about that?
Kill them all. If your butt cheeks touch in the middle you get the antisemitic/Palestinian treatment. Would you like to die by rocket, bomb, on the hood of a car, as a joke, career suicide, anonymous mass grave, student failure with no future, self emulation, militant untrained police, starvation, Kremlin backed Right faction first world extremist regime mob of fucktards, or randomly one of the above? Heil Europe!
I think they meant inside
Mandatory random cavity searches.
It’s the only way to keep society safe!
how are the authorities supposed to know you’re not doing something naughty in there?
Humans are actually supposed to do naughty things. Otherwise they’d be worried about demography
Good!
We should give them universal admin privileges.

Well this seems like a guy I can trust!
lawful interception
Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.
Let’s also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.
Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

DeCSS.

Uhhh ransomware?
Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.
Cracking Enigma was something that needed to been done.
Kinda drives home another point too. Breaking someone else’s encryption is something you do to enemies. If you’re trying to break my encryption communication or installing a backdoor, you’re an enemy, simple as that.
My eternal thanks to FOSS, and open encryption standards.
I read this the other day… the issue they face is on the warrant side, cross border investigations have a 120 day lead time. So instead of actually integrating police and making sure time sensitive investigations get treated as such… They whine about PET.
EuroPol seems to be something like the FBI… who operate across all US states. But in the EU the countries are still very separate and require such ridiculous things as proof and due process. And that’s fine… It just needs to be sped up.
Europol is merely a clearing house, standards process and coordinating agency for how national police forces work together across the EU states. It has very, very little power. Unfortunately.
based on this article, i would say it’s fortunate that they have very little power
You’re assuming the national services are better, I suppose. In my experience it’s been the EU who has struck a better balance between privacy and investigative powers than the crap they’re pushing for nationally.
man, I do my homelab for hobby and better performance. this is bonus.
disclaimer: didn’t read the article past the paywall fade out. and I’m too lazy to circumvent
Home routing in this case refers to IP tunneling when roaming.
you mean like ipsec or vpn? I have been playing with that too for connecting my brother’s computers to my self host services.
