Google Intent on Using Encryption

Coverage Type: 

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said the company is intent on using encryption technologies to penetrate countries with strict censorship rules, such as China and North Korea.

"It is possible, within the next decade, using encryption, we would be able to open up countries that have strict censorship laws … giving people a voice," Schmidt said. Google has been working to strengthen its encryption so governments "won't be able to" penetrate it. "This creates a problem for governments like China's," Schmidt added.
