As interesting as the first half of this book was, so tediously dull was the second, and so ridiculous the author's solutions, yet this was perfectly understandable as the author boasts numerous times about his employment by various states and supranational organisations. The absolute lowest point was exemplified by the following quote: "Mandatory decryption orders may be the best and safest way to deal with the conundrum of encryption and legal access."
