Snooper's Charter

Charlie E

Given Sophos is headquartered in the UK, does anyone want to comment on the potential impact of the Snooper's Charter on Sophos products (and the security thereof)?

The "decrypt-on-demand" could be a potential pain-point for Sophos products, IMHO.

  • Hi, Charlie, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    A search on the full text of the bill did not reveal that the word "decrypt" is in the document.  In any case, the British Parliament can't un-invent encryption.  They could block such traffic, but they won't copy China's Great Firewall.  The British government probably won't know until 2018 what they're doing.  Let's cross that bridge when we come to it...

    Cheers - Bob
