The best part of the “going dark” debate is that we have to pretend sophisticated attacks by nation-states and criminals are some kind of Gibsonian sci-fi fantasy. It’s 2019. Theres a multi-billion dollar industry around attacking phone security systems.https://www.fastcompany.com/90307864/u-s-fund-sells-israeli-hacking-firm-nso-group-amid-spy-mystery …

My point is that 0day hoarding is absolutely inevitable. No matter how many key escrow systems you mandate. There will always be an abundance of criminals that don’t use the key escrow system (which right now is as simple as downloading an app) or who just store data locally.

It's not inevitable at all, the government is big enough to move markets and a shift in policy can drastically change the risks people are exposed to. I'm not in favour of key escrow, but encouraging more government exploit usage is even worse.

Do you think that 0day generation rate scales linearly with investment?
-
Definitely not, but one 0day can be used a very large number of times (if that's what you're asking).

The argument for assured access via CNE (including sometimes 0day) vice warranted access (effective against only those law abiding who comply with key escrow) is not cryptologic purity but rather narrowcast targeting limitation, tailoring if you will instead of a bulk vacuum.
