This week Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein gave two speeches on encryption; one at the U.S. Naval Academy and one at the Global Cyber Security Summit. I recommend you read them, as the remainder of this post will make considerably more sense. I would like to focus on the structure of the second speech. Mr. Rosenstein states that he wants to describe “the scope of the global cybersecurity threat that confronts us” and “the challenges we face in countering the threat”.
