How I see attempts to force #backdoors in E2E #encryption...
@madargon pretty neat, but the metaphor changes a bit when you know that you can in fact make a small hole in the top part where the rubber is the thickest and the air will sift out slowly instead of bursting the whole balloon
I'd argue that, in fact, this fact makes the metaphor even more precise.
In the long run, all backdoors are discovered by enough people that corporations have to close them to prevent bad PR.
But in the meamwhile, backdoors get exploited by bad actors that pretend to be good (intelligence agency, and "security corporations).
All you need it the hole to be small enough that nobody notice it for a while.
At times I feel sad for all those engineers at #NSA that got their backdoors overwritten by bitcoin miners by script kiddies after #log4j became a viral meme.
And by "sad" I mean... ROTFL! 🤣
Anyway, great comics, @madargon!
