The Australian Government believes that it needs a golden key to backdoor encryption within Australia via legislation. The Brits and the Yanks have both already had a nudge at this and both have conceded that requiring a backdoor to encryption is not viable but this will not stop the Australian Liberal Party from trying.
Digital rights experts have described the proposal as "ludicrous" as Cyber security minister Angus Taylor stating that the legislation would be presented for public comment within the next quarter. While the Australian Government has not detailed how it expects to gain access to encrypted data, companies may be penalized if they don't kowtow to the new laws. There is nothing to be discussed here that hasn't been said before other than the Australian Government sincerely believes it can force companies to divulge encrypted data to authorities on demand.

it's a shame to see an otherwise intelligent person, who can make things, use a slave platform and make slaveware for it. lazy name too. "i" (well that was original) "toolbox" well that's awfully generic. so the name means "mac doucheware does something". what a waste.

a) I'm writing it in a very portable manner (using Qt / c++) and intend to port it, presuming that the task ends up being reasonable, which is the plan, anyway. I've successfully ported large (much larger, in fact) Qt applications before, so the odds are decent.
b) I'm open to suggestions for the name. Image Toolbox was too long. Hence the iToolBox, but yeah, i-this and i-that.

There's already iToolbox for MATLAB.
