How will the Spring Law on the Internet and mobile communications – BBC

In the preparation of the document for the second reading, which was originally scheduled for June 22, there was a provision for fines for “the organizers of the dissemination of information on the Internet” for refusing to provide the FSB data for decoding the received and sent messages. In the State Duma explained that the provision of the bill extends to the work of messengers, e-mail services and social networks that use encryption.

In the event of failure to provide special services to the keys to decrypt communications companies face fines of 800 thousand. Up to 1 million rubles.

The bill touches messenger Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, ICQ, using end -to-end-encryption. Affected by the document can and HTTPS Internet protocol that enables secure transfer of data from many Internet portals. In particular, under the threat will be Facebook, «VKontakte», Twitter and other services for communication. This mechanism is also used internet banking, booking sites and reservation of tickets, some of the media, the online encyclopedia, and other various resources. The head of Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov estimated share encrypted traffic in runet 30%. Its assessment in this respect at various times given and Internet companies:. 50 to 80%

No keys

«In the current implementations, applications for encrypted communication are key interlocutors, not the company providing the service. That is, to start implementation of this trip is technically impossible »,

– told” Gazeta.ru “the vice-president and CTO Mail.Ru Group Vladimir Gabrielyan

On. I agree and leading virus analyst at ESET Artem Baranov, who explained “Gazeta.ru” that the number of messengers (eg, Viber and WhatsApp) recently implemented encrypted end-to-end – which means that access to the forwarded message has only user private keys and they just are not stored. This technology works in secret chats Telegram

«It is strange to assume that the authors messengers provide security services access to encrypted data if they are nothing to do with them” -. Said Baranov

The representative of Mail.Ru Group recalled that the limitation of secrecy of citizens’ correspondence is the prerogative of the judiciary and the decision shall be made in respect of a particular person. “In the case of certificates of transfer, allowing to decrypt the traffic, in fact, there is limitation of secrecy of correspondence once all users”, – he added

The Russian Association of Electronic Communications (RAEC), which is the main lobbyist for the Internet business in Russia. warned that

document jeopardizes secrecy of correspondence and carries huge risks of leaks of confidential information.

The organization notes that in the majority of standards storage encryption key provided by the user, that is, without changing the algorithm, it is impossible to decode messages. At the same time when changes occur cybersecurity threat

At the same time, these measures will not affect the availability of encryption tools for hackers, stressed RAEC

Another negative consequence is the time that Russian companies will be put at a disadvantage. Action bill applies to all users that may violate other laws and international obligations of Russia. Foreign companies may refuse to comply with these requirements in Russia, as they are contrary to their laws. Other states may present similar requirements on key disclosure to Russian corporations.

«The adoption of the bill in the current of his form can lead to withdrawal from the Russian market of a large number of players and the general degradation of the Internet industry »,
– said in RAEC

The position of the organization went unnoticed, despite the letters sent to the presidential administration, the Ministry of communications and mass Media, the State Duma and the Federation Council

For operators paid subscribers

Taking the bill, MPs also do not take into account the views of operators for the shelf life of the content of voice calls, sent messages and media files. Replacing the originally proposed three years to six months, the State Duma does not reduce the potential burden on the telecom market players. However, according to the document, three-year data will be stored on the messaging facts.

«The implementation of norms of the bill will cost operators several trillion rubles. Naturally, such an exorbitant and inefficient burdens businesses dramatically affect the entire economy in the telecommunications sector “, – reported in” MegaFon »

« If the amendments come into force, operators of course. will have to raise tariffs for subscribers to keep the business »,

– said the representative of the operator

With this agreed, and PR-director of Yota Olga Alekseeva: “the likelihood that these costs will be filled by increasing the cost of services for the end user is very high»

According to preliminary estimates of “VimpelCom” (brand “Beeline”), to perform requirements of the law in the first phase will require about 200 billion rubles. Such investments can not simply have a negative impact on the economy of the operators, but also in general to reduce it to zero.

«It is already obvious that the bill could lead to a slowdown in network development and a significant increase in tariffs for communication services” – warned in “VimpelCom»

MTS spokesman Dmitry Solodovnikov told “Gazeta.ru” that

Now there is no equipment, in principle, that can. ensure the collection and storage of voice data in accordance with the requirements of the bill. And his creation put the industry on the brink of collapse.

So, need enormous costs for the purchase of equipment, construction of buildings of new data centers, license procurement for software, high-power transmission networks, creating a system for the “removal” and “O” on the storage of traffic and indexing system, traffic analysis system and provide access to this data. Costs can amount to several trillion rubles

«It is important that if the operators will bear the costs of such a level, they will not be able to develop a network for subscribers:. Build base stations to expand fixed-line network that,

taking into account the high rate of traffic growth can lead to the degradation of communication quality head, disruptions in SMS delivery or inability to access the Internet »,
– said a spokesman for operator .

Tele2 declined to comment. Press Secretary of “Rostelecom” Andrey Polyakov had previously announced that the operator welcomes the reduction in terms of traffic storage up to six months

With representatives of the “big three” and agreed Gabrielyan: “Storage is not only the facts, but also the data for six months will require a huge investment by telecom operators and organizers of the dissemination of information that will lead to an inevitable increase in the services prices country. »

But even without a rise in price respect, the law puts all the user and the subscriber in an uncomfortable position ever suspected of any offense. All messages and calls made via a mobile phone or a Skype, will be recorded, stored and analyzed in case of any problems with the security services. The same applies to any correspondence without encryption. Even for any law-abiding citizen of this measure appears doubtful, and the “anti-terrorism package” and does violate Constitutional Law of Russian citizens to privacy of correspondence.
