Russian newsaper Kommersant reported that "Federal Security Service (FSB) plans to decrypt internet traffic".
Natalya Kasperskaya, President of the 'InfoWatch' Group of companies, said that Russian authorities had plans to decrypt internet traffic coming from Russian users.
According to Kommersant "one of the discussed tools for decrypting internet traffic is the use of special equipment that can decipher traffic received from the server and encrypt it again with an SSL certificate issued by a Russian certification authority before sending it to a user".
Kasperskaya said that the possibility of granting powers to the Russian authorities to issue an SSL certificate was discussed between Roskomnadzor (Russian federal executive body responsible for overseeing the media) and the Federal Security Service (FSB).
Alexei Kachalin, Director of Expert Security Center at Positive Technologies, warned that "main internet service providers could loose market share to their foreign competitors if they were under control of a regime".
