I think I would start the project by jotting down all the reasons one might want strong encryption, then try to come up with a reason why they're bad for government. Think in terms of surveillance or control - what you, as government, might lose.

Did you side with the government just to pick a side, or was there some influence? No need to answer me, but do write down your answers and see if they can be used for your paper.

Subject: strong encryption - governments denying individuals the right
to use

Hi all

I am hoping that someone out there may be able to assist me with my
assignment.

I am having to write a position paper on - should our government
(Australian) deny individuals the use of strong encryption?

Unfortunately I have challenged myself and decided that I would support the
idea of the Government denying individuals the right to use strong
encryption. Only problem is I can't find any information that explicitly
supports this argument, nor am I sure what I should put in this 'Position
Paper'.

Any ideas, any at all?

Sincerely,

Trina
