L' INTELLIGENCE CYBER par Jean-Paul Pinte

The availability of strong and trustworthy cryptographic tools is an important building block of a society and economy that is more than ever depending on electronic services. The legitimate need to protect communication among individuals and public and private organizations has often been depicted as threat to business models or even public security. At the same time, the lack of trust in digital services has been identified as an inhibiting factor for the digital market. This has a particular weight in view of the new agreements on the NIS directive and General data protection regulation, which foster the trust of public and private sector to digital networks and services at a national and EU level. However, in the light of terrorism and crime prevention, opinions have been voiced that cryptographic tools need to be regulated.
