This would be done by disabling (non-cryptographic) security features and adding some additional capability (the ability to use hardware to type the PIN as opposed to a finger). So no backdoors in encryption algorithms. But, security of encryption is only as secure as security of the key. So by making the key easy to get, you are giving, in some sense, a "universal key". | |
