"Going Dark" application backdoors monitoring required for online tools
in 09, the Department of Justice in 2010 proposed budget of $ 233.9 million was approved for an electronic monitoring program Advanced FBI called "Going Dark".
according to the article published by Wired, "the program is designed to help address the challenges of the agency conducting surveillance compared with newish technologies ..."
in 2010, the FBI has made a proposal that would not allow an online service provider to create an encrypted communication system without a way for the government to order the company to unlock communications. This is similar to what is called cryptographic wars, when, in the 190s, the FBI and the NSA claimed national security is at risk without the ability to spy on encrypted emails, IMs and phone calls. After a drawn out battle it was found that national security was made stronger by the wide use of encryption but this has not prevented the Ministry of Justice to try.

The latest update on this situation is the Ministry of Justice being asked by the federal judge, Richard Seeborg to disclose more information about its "Going Dark". Because services like Skype, Facebook and Google Talk are not covered by the aid of communications Act for law enforcement (CALEA), the FBI believes they become harbors criminals and incapable of being examined.
Currently, the "Going Dark" program has no supporters of the white House and the FBI has not made public an opportunity where encryption forbidden to the plaintext communications. Private officials of law enforcement say that there are cases where prisoners use online tools and they are unable to access data because suppliers are not made to comply with CALEA.
L Electronic Frontier Foundation has obtained the Ministry of Justice information regarding the "Going Dark" program since so little is known about what this means. However, the government admitted a significant amount was withheld. The judge ruled Seeborg unacceptable silence the information, but has not set a timetable for compliance.
