Read the full Senate bill requiring encryption backdoors

If you were skeptical that polticians would be so audacious as to propose a law effectively requiring encryption backdoors... well, you just got proof.

The Senate has released a finished version of Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein's Compliance with Court Orders Act, which demands that companies either produce data in a readable format when asked or else offer whatever help they can to make that data accessible. Despite the early uproar, little has changed between the draft and the finished bill -- the only big difference is that it explains which crimes can invoke the requirement.
