The paper identifies five technically distinct E2EE scenarios with different lawful access implications, argues that E2EE is deeply embedded across the modern tech stack (TLS, SSH, VPNs, Zero Trust), and concludes that broad laws restricting E2EE would severely harm cybersecurity, commerce, and government operations. It maintains that lessons from earlier rounds — the 'least trusted country problem' and the 'golden age of surveillance' — still apply, and that new government claims for restricting encryption deserve skepticism. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
