Stuart Carlson's cartoon is not that recent, but unfortunately remains important. It succinctly summarizes what's at stake when backdoors are built into encryption. Then a shadowy gang immediately stands ready to take advantage of it, from the so-called "good guys" (if we are to believe that) to no doubt a range of people with anything but good intentions as well like malicious attackers, repressive regimes etc.
