it enjoys support far beyond those circles and throughout mainstream academic cryptography. The aversion of
cryptographers against backdoor access shows up everywhere. From cryptographic protocol standards like TLS, to
cryptographic applications like the Signal messenger, backdoor access is not only excluded from the system design, its
possibility is considered a potential vulnerability. Measures such as forward secrecy and post-compromise security are
taken to mitigate its impact. In computing, this design aspect makes cryptographic protocols a unique holdout. In other
parts of the stack, explicit or implicit backdoor access is commonplace, and attempts at preventing it are rare. For
instance, network providers are generally required to comply with so-called \emph{Lawful Interception} orders on
particular customers or traffic types, and datacenter operators commonly provide hardware access to state authorities.
The design decisions in cryptographic protocols generally hold, and the gold standard for backdoor access to modern
systems is either exploiting a \emph{zero-day} flaw that is not yet publically known, or acquiring physical access to
the target system. \todo{Make sure all figures have nice short titles for list of figures}
