The government does not intend to restrict the encryption of data, for example by requiring backdoors in software.
This comes from a statement from Minister Van der Steur (Justice and Security) to parliament.

The Minister pointed out that data encryption is important for the protection of personal data and confidential information. At the same time, encryption complicates the work of the intelligence services, because it also offers criminals the ability to encrypt their communications and their data.

However, according to the minister, there are no possibilities to limit the encryption of data without thereby compromised the security of digital systems.

A so-called 'back door', is where there is a hole intentionally made in the security so that the public can view a database. However, the system would also be vulnerable to terrorists, criminals and foreign intelligence services, the ministers said.

The government has begun taking a different view from other governments. British Prime Minister David Cameron, for example, has long argued for limiting encryption.

Also, Gilles de Kerchove, counterterrorism coordinator at the European Union said earlier that companies should hand over their encryption keys to governments to facilitate the work of the intelligence services.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands
