US Attorney General William Barr today launched a new front in the feds' ongoing fight against consumer encryption, railing against the common security practice and lamenting the \"victims\" in its wake.<\/p>\n

\"The deployment of warrant-proof encryption is already imposing huge costs on society,\" Barr claimed in remarks<\/a> at a cybersecurity conference held at Fordham University Tuesday morning. Barr added that encryption \"seriously degrades\" law enforcement's ability to \"detect and prevent a crime before it occurs,\" as well as making eventual investigation and prosecution of crime more difficult.<\/p>\n

The existence of encryption means \"converting the Internet and communications into a law-free zone\" that criminals will happily take advantage of to do more crimes, Barr added, likening it to a neighborhood that local cops have abandoned.<\/p>\n<\/div>
