Rep. Mace Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Strengthen U.S. Encryption Laws
May 25, 2021
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) and Congressman Ted Lieu (CA-33) on Tuesday reintroduced the bipartisan Ensuring National Constitutional Rights for Your Private Telecommunications (ENCRYPT) Act. The bill ensures a uniform, national policy for encryption technology.
“From Social Security numbers to health information, Americans entrust their private data to countless companies and government agencies every single day," Mace said."But many businesses are being pushed by law enforcement to intentionally weaken their security, creating deliberate backdoors in their software, putting millions of Americans’ personal information at risk. The ENCRYPT Act ensures every American business, non-profit, and government agency can do all they can to protect our citizens’ vital information."
