That's the buzz phrase, "go dark." This means that, if you are an investigator, all of a sudden all of your access to information evaporates, because not only the material but the systems that carry the material are so heavily encrypted you are not able to even detect the trail that you might like to follow. That is a huge issue that is technological on one side, and legal and constitutional on the other side.

CONT

C'est ce que signifient les expressions à la mode «devenir invisible» ou «devenir aveugle», selon le point de vue. Si vous êtes un enquêteur, vous perdez alors tout d'un coup l'accès à l'information qui vous intéresse parce que, non seulement l'information mais le système dans lequel elle se trouve est si puissamment crypté qu'il vous devient impossible de suivre la trace de cette information. C'est un problème majeur alors que la technologie et les corps policiers ou les organismes de renseignement se trouvent des côtés opposés de la problématique.
