        Is there a list of situations where it’s illegal to use encryption in the US? It’s 100% illegal to transmit encrypted data over ham radio (although transmitting unencrypted packets and accessing the internet through unencrypted means over ham radio is not). I’m not sure of what other situations where using encryption is illegal though.

          Hm, where does https play in though? Most, if not all, popular websites now use encryption. If Alice were to access Bob’s site via ham radio and his site uses https, is Alice breaking the law?

      Anyone demanding back door is a bad guy regardless.

      Both parties have to consent, you can’t just pressure your partner to let you in down there.
