Encrypted but Exposed: Exploring Backdoors in VPN Technology

“Solid and technologically sound encryption systems are needed more than ever for dataprotection, data integrity, and confidentiality.At a time, for example, when voter databases are under assault from foreign actors, we need to be enhancing the integrity of our data systems, not reducing it.
