While we should not hesitate to deploy encryption to protect ourselves from cybercriminals, this should not be done in a way that eviscerates society's ability to defend itself against other types of criminal threats. In other words, making our virtual world more secure should not come at the expense of making us more vulnerable in the real world.

Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption, and secure access devices and it's money wasted because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain: the people who use, administer, operate and account for computer systems that contain protected information.

If you are going to store your e-wallet on your own server, don't keep your e-wallet on your desktop, and make sure you use encryption. If you lose your computer, your bitcoins are lost forever.

James Comey

I love strong encryption. It protects us in so many ways from bad people. But it takes us to a place - absolute privacy - that we have not been to before.

Amber Rudd

I don't need to understand how encryption works to understand how it's helping the criminals.

British Politician

Alex Stamos

I think anybody who uses email in the center of our life needs encryption.

Noam Chomsky

Somebody will be able to overcome any encryption technique you use!

American Activist

Strong encryption enables commerce and protects us online.

Ted Lieu

Encryption would help prevent a lot of cyber attacks.

The encryption genie is out of the bottle.

Encryption acts as a barrier to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Privacy Shield

Using 'encryption' suggests a degree of computer literacy and knowledge about data security.

Tech Savvy

'Encryption' is often mentioned in the context of steps taken to secure digital transactions or communications.

 I would say, not yet. Quantum computing is still in the labs, and it will take a few years until it's put to practical applications. More important, there have been major breakthroughs in the field of encryption. For me, this is a particularly exciting time
