India Draft National Encryption Policy

September 20, 2015

The following draft copy of the National Encryption Policy was released for public comment by the India Department of Electronics and Information Technology. The policy has been widely criticized for requiring businesses, internet service providers and even private citizens to store decrypted versions of encrypted communications for 90 days to provide to the government and law enforcement. An article in the Times of India dated September 20, 2015 quotes Pranesh Prakash, policy director at the Bengaluru-based Center for Internet and Society, who describes the draft policy as a "bad idea conceived by people who do not understand encryption."
