Deeplinks Blog posts about Encrypting the Web
Last weekend EFF took part in the Eleventh Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in New York City and got to meet so many of our wonderful supporters. We've collected the HOPE talks given by EFF staff below, with the official program abstract, video, and where applicable, the original slides. Once you're done watching those, you can also try your hand at our Capture The Flag competition—the challenges are still up at https://eff-ctf.org, even though the contest is over.

The Let's Encrypt certificate authority issued its two millionth certificate on Thursday, less than two months after the millionth certificate. As we noted when the millionth certificate was issued, each certificate can cover several web sites, so the certificates Let's Encrypt has issued are already protecting millions and millions of sites.
A now-vacated hearing over whether to require Apple to undermine the security of its users prompted an ongoing controversy over government access to encrypted devices.
While a federal court in San Bernardino may never rule on the flood of arguments supporting Apple's defense of user security, observers—especially members of Congress—should pay close attention to a few themes that have emerged in the public debate.

En la edición sabatina del New York Times del pasado 13 de marzo, el periodista Matt Apuzzo informa que el Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos está enfrascado en una "disputa prolongada" con la aplicación WhatsApp. El gobierno estadounidense está frustrado por su falta de acceso en tiempo real a los mensajes protegidos por el cifrado de extremo a extremo que provee la compañía. La historia puede significar un anticipo perturbador del siguiente frente de batalla en la guerra de la Oficina Federal de Investigación (FBI) contra el cifrado.
In Saturday’s edition of the New York Times, Matt Apuzzo reports that the Department of Justice is locked in a “prolonged standoff” with WhatsApp. The government is frustrated by its lack of real-time access to messages protected by the company’s end-to-end encryption. The story may represent a disturbing preview of the next front in the FBI’s war against encryption.
