Guys , I was reading one of those link and maybe someone more knowledgeable about cryptographic could explain this to me An example of this is Lavabit a discontinued secure email service created by Ladar Levison . The FBI requested Snowden ' s records after finding out that he used the service . Since Lavabit did not keep logs and email content was stored encrypted , the FBI served a subpoena with a gag order for the service ' s SSL keys . Having the SSL keys would allow them to access communications both metadata and unencrypted content in real time for all of Lavabit ' s customers , not just Snowden ' s . Shouldn ' t Lavabit NOT have the decryption keys ? <| sep |> Original post by uPwatopus in rOldSchoolCoolnbspThis crosspost was performed automatically as a part of the ImagesOfNetwork .
