Abstract

Recent years have seen intense debates regarding end-to-end encryption (E2EE) driven by regulatory proposals in the U.K. and EU to monitor E2EE communications in order to detect and prevent online child sex abuse. We discuss the key issues and tensions at play and the harmful impacts of such proposals. Weakening E2EE will not address the root causes of online child sex abuse and result in not only violating the privacy of the population at large but also of the young people whom such proposals aim to protect in the first instance.

削弱端到端加密被认为是有害的

近年来，英国和欧盟的监管提案推动了端到端加密（E2EE）的激烈辩论，以监控E2EE通信，以检测和防止在线儿童性虐待。我们讨论了关键问题和正在发挥作用的紧张局势以及这些建议的有害影响。削弱E2EE并不能解决网络儿童性虐待的根本原因，不仅会侵犯广大民众的隐私，还会侵犯这些提议最初旨在保护的年轻人的隐私。

期刊介绍： IEEE Security & Privacy’s primary objective is to stimulate and track advances in security, privacy, and dependability and present these advances in a form that can be useful to a broad cross-section of the professional community—ranging from academic researchers to industry practitioners. It provides articles with both a practical and research bent by the top thinkers in the field of security and privacy, along with case studies, surveys, tutorials, columns, and in-depth interviews and podcasts for the information security industry. Through special issues, the magazine explores other timely aspects of privacy in areas such as usable security, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cryptography, and big data. Other popular topics include software, hardware, network, and systems security, privacy-enhancing technologies, data analytics for security and privacy, wireless/mobile and embedded security, security foundations, security economics, privacy policies, integrated design methods, sociotechnical aspects, and critical infrastructure. In addition, the magazine accepts peer-reviewed articles of wide interest under a general call, and also features regular columns on hot topics and interviews with luminaries in the field.
