Please read my comment here if you havenât alreadyâI was just speculating about an issue I wasnât sure if cryptographers had even addressed (since I thought maybe they had only been addressing schemes in which the government would be able to tap into large numbers of devices rather than a handful each year, and probably do so remotely rather than needing the devices in hand), and my comments were meant to be open-ended, I was looking for feedback on my speculated methods rather than claiming in any confident way theyâd work.
