In a July speech, the attorney generalsaidit prevents U.S. law enforcement from tracking down criminals at the helm of drug cartels and even some individuals who are responsible for murder.

Barr sent a letter to Facebook earlier this month urging the company to hold off on incorporating end-to-end encryption to Messenger and Instagram, saying the feature would allow criminals like child predators to avoid law enforcement.

While the Justice Department has pushed back on efforts to curtail access to messages for law enforcement purposes, tech companies have defended encryption as an essential privacy protection for users.

Digital rights activist andcompanies, including Facebook, have also pushed back on government requests for law enforcement backdoors into encrypted communications, arguing that creating them would compromise user privacy and give authoritarian-style surveillance powers to the government.

After facing a lot of criticism by peers and users, Facebook is taking baby steps to increase data privacy on the platform. For Facebook, this also involves securing the conversation between people along with the communication transfer through audio and video calls.

Currently, this feature is only available on WhatsApp by default where the chats and audio calls between the users are encrypted.

In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook is trying to encrypt the messaging service on the platform through a Secret Mode. Jane Manchun Wong, a reverse engineering guru reported that Facebook is trying to introduce encryption through Secret Mode. However, the encryption is only available on the Secret Mode and not in the normal mode.

Although the secret conversation mode is available and provides encrypted messaging but not call service as yet.

Messenger calls are expected to be encrypted in a limited way and therefore, a lot of people might not be able to use it as this platform is far from secure communication.

WhatsApp has been vocal about the end-to-end encryption it offers for messaging and this was not exploited for the Pegasus attack.

Popular messaging platform WhatsApp was used to spy on journalists and human rights activists in India using an Israeli spyware tool called Pegasus. With the worlds most popular app that has a total of 1.5 billion users under the radar, it wont be surprising if many seem to be looking at other secure messaging options. Some popular ones include iMessage, Wire, and Signal that offer end-to-end encryption for messages.

WhatsApp has been vocal about the end-to-end encryption it offers for messaging and while this was not exploited for the Pegasus attack, the spyware took advantage of video/voice call function on the app, which had a zero-day security flaw.

We take a look at some end-to-end messaging options to consider other than WhatsApp:

Apple says it offers end-to-end protection for iMessage and FaceTime conversations across all devices. In addition, the third-party apps that use iMessage are not given access to a users conversations. Apple iMessage is among the top ways to protect privacy when it comes to messaging but do note that the service is only available to users of Apple devices.

Wire is another option that offers end-to-end encryption across its messenger, voice, video, conference calls, file-sharing, and external collaboration services. The end-to-end encryption is switched on by default for conversations, text files, files and images, etc.

Also read: In September, WhatsApp told govt 121 individuals affected by Pegasus spyware

The messaging service is free for personal usage, though there is a paid version as well for enterprises. Wire is supported on various platforms as well, which makes it an even better option. Apart from Android and iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera are supported as well.

Signal is free for everyone and messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Among other features is disappearing messages as users can set timers for when they want their message to automatically get deleted or disappeared. Signal can be used on iPhone, Android as well as desktop.

Telegram has this feature called Secret Chats which offers end-to-end encryption for chats, though like WhatsApp not all chats are encrypted by default on Telegram. Facebook Messenger also has a similar Secret Conversation feature where the chats are end-to-end encryption. Reports suggest Facebook is also looking an encrypting audio and video calls, though it is unclear when the feature will be rolled out.

(Disclaimer: When the phone is hacked, it doesnt matter which other end to end encrypted platform one uses because it isnt secure)

Global encryption software market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 16.38% over the forecast period from 2019-2025 - PRNewswire

Facebook is often the target of privacy concerns. At the start of this year, the firm was found to be paying people up to $20 a month in exchange for gaining comprehensive access into their phones. Consequently, in recent months, the company has started taking some steps towards ensuring a more secure and private environment on the platform. And according to the app researcher, Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook has now begun testing another feature that is geared towards privacy.

Currently, the secret conversations mode nested within Facebook Messenger encrypts only text messages and does not support the same for audio or video calls. The other unsupported features, as per Facebook's help center, are group messages, GIFs, and payments. But now, as per Wong, Facebook is now beginning to test end-to-end encryption for audio and video calls over secret conversations.

While that is certainly a welcome feature, it might ultimately go unnoticed by the large swath of people, considering how the secret conversations mode itself is not ubiquitous right now. Furthermore, Facebook testing encrypted audio and video calls in this special mode does not signify that regular audio and video calls via the platform will be encrypted too.

Jim Baker, former General Counsel for the FBI from 2012-2014, has seen the light on encryption, embracing the importance of keeping our data secure from bad actors, even though it makes law enforcements job harder. This is significant to me in that Mr. Baker lead the effort by the FBI under then-Director James Comey to force Apple to break the encryption that protects our devices in order to access an iPhone used by a domestic terrorist.

In a long, thoughtful, and well-reasoned piece for the Lawfare blog, Mr. Baker cited a guiding principle to, embrace reality and deal with it. And while he long worked to solve the going dark problem where criminals are able to use encryption to evade law enforcement, he said it was time to embrace the protections of encryption, and accept that it carries a price born by victims of crime and law enforcement, both. From his piece:

In the face of congressional inaction, and in light of the magnitude of the threat, it is time for governmental authoritiesincluding law enforcementto embrace encryption because it is one of the few mechanisms that the United States and its allies can use to more effectively protect themselves from existential cybersecurity threats, particularly from China. This is true even though encryption will impose costs on society, especially victims of other types of crime.

We could sort of distill that down to, it turns out that Bryan Chaffin guy was right all along.

Or, more realistically, that folks like General Michael Hayden were right all along, when he advocated essentially the same thing.

He added:

Public safety officials should continue to highlight instances where they find that encryption hinders their ability to effectively and efficiently protect society so that the public and lawmakers understand the trade-offs they are allowing. To do this, the Justice Department should, for example, file an annual public report describing, as best it can, the continuing nature and scope of the going dark problem. If necessary, it can also file a classified annual report with the appropriate congressional committees.

But, for the reasons discussed above, public safety officials should also become among the strongest supporters of widely available strong encryption.

Yes, please, more of this. But more of this isnt what we are likely to get as current Attorney General William Barr believes in a fairy tale world where theres a technical solution that allows law enforcement to access encrypted systems while somehow keeping the myriad of malicious actors out. the current FBI Director, Christopher Wray, has also picked up the mantle of weakening encryption. Jim Baker addressed this, and much more, in his full piece.

Speaking of which, I recommend it if you have any interest in encryption. Its long, complex, and deep, but its a great read. He lays out the good and bad sides of the encryption issue in a very thorough and even-handed manner. That said, the target market for this piece is not your man-on-the-street. Lawfare is a highly respected blog in the law enforcement community, and I just hope that more people in that community pay attention to Jim Bakers words.
