Officials from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Industry and Trade are exploring the possibilities to decode internet traffic collected under the newly-passed legislation and to decrypt it in order to search words like "a bomb" in real-time mode, the Russian Kommersant newspaper reported, citing its sources.
According to the newspaper, FSB supports the idea of real-time decryption of all the information, while the ministries backed decoding only information from suspicious users.
Countries across the globe have been boosting their security measures following a series of recent terrorist attacks such as those in Paris, Nice and Brussels and a continuing violence with the use of suicide bombers in the crisis-torn countries, such as Afghanistan or the Middle Eastern states.
