Like all legislation, there will be a public phase where we, the citizens, can give our input and hold our legislators to account .
Right now, there are private , proprietary solutions, which are broken by private , anonymous persons who post their cracks on the Internet which are made available to those who know the secret handshake ("Apprentice Alf" or whatever). Its fun for geeks, I guess, but it's time for everyone to put on their big boy pants and come up with a legislated solution.
