Strong encryption is taking over the tech landscape. Apple and Google are encrypting our smartphones, WhatsApp and iMessage have brought us easy-to-use end-to-end security, and more sites every day are encrypting our web connections. But this post-Snowden spread of encryption is facing a backlash, with some in government calling it a threat to law and order and pressing companies to build backdoors for surveillance. Come hear a top developer of secure apps, a major Internet company's policy expert, a national tech business reporter and a longtime privacy advocate talk about what this new "Crypto War" means for the future of innovation, cybersecurity, the tech economy, and your business.
