The Great Unicorn Prayer

Will there be no end to govt attempts to break encryption? Hand over your data or the kiddies get it, threaten Five Eyes spies

…an absolutely perfect example of the Great Unicorn Prayer of the security services: oh Lord, grant us this day all the data, but keep it from the sight of the evil-doers. And if that's not possible, because it isn't, even for thou, oh Lord, force industry to give it to us by framing them as complicit in child sex abuse. Amen.

The always acerbic and normally spot-on English tech pub, The Register, gets it right here. 

If you still think it's possible to keep super-secret government backdoors secret (and speaking of the Five Eyes) just repeat to yourself, C I A.
