What IBM white paper? Show me the law where this was mandated. Because no, you are in fact misrepresenting the truth.

So, your I agree with you in not being hyperbolic. However, let’s just say I have exceedingly applicable industry experience. (IC and LE) I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m right. So now my burden is finding what I can in the public domain to share this truth with you without violating NDAs.

What IBM whitepaper?

The one linked in the tomshardware url, in your own post! The whitepaper by IBM, you even talk about in your post!

Years later, in 2010, an IBM security researcher showed

Apparently you're discussing how IBM showed this, without even reading them doing so?!

So now I've done more research into IBM'S whitepaper, which you summarize, than you?

Dude... wth?

Please don't do flamewars on HN. I've warned the other commenter above but you've broken the site guidelines as well. Not cool.

Btw, with respect to your 'show me the law', 'mandated' doesn't mean 'legislated'.

That very same IBM whitepaper you cited, claims the FCC mandated it. As in, pushed an interpretation of a regulation. Are you claiming the whitepaper is wrong?

The whitepaper which you used to validate your claims?

Or, are only the parts of it which you agree with correct?

As far as the white paper, I mixed up Cisco and IBM in my head on that. As far as “mandated”, laws and policy mandating back door access have been shot down repeatedly in the real world.

The claim of an FCC mandate in a white paper does not indicate legality of deployment in the real world is what I mean.
