According to Whittaker, the bill requires the encrypted messaging app Signal to install so-called backdoors in the software.
If you create a vulnerability based on Swedish wishes, it would create a way to undermine our entire network. Therefore, we would never introduce these backdoors, she says.
The purpose of the bill – which may be passed next year – is for the police and Security Service to be able to request message history in retrospect for individuals suspected of crimes.
The Armed Forces, on the other hand, are negative and write in a letter to the government that the proposal cannot be realized "without introducing vulnerabilities and backdoors that can be exploited by third parties", reports SVT.
