A European right to end-to-end encryption?
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In Podchasov v Russia , the European Court of Human Rights unanimously held that a Russian statutory obligation on ‘internet communications organisers’ to provide information to state authorities that allowed for the decryption of encrypted communications was a disproportionate interference with Article 8 because the available technical means of decryption risked weakening the security of communications for all users of the service. This is significant as authorities in the UK and EU may seek to implement similar statutory obligations on communications service providers.
