Protecting the Freedom to Encrypt

June 28, 2018

Widespread availability of advanced encryption technology has improved security for consumers and businesses, though some in law enforcement have voiced concerns that it limits their ability to prevent terrorism and prosecute crimes. On July 28, 2018, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) and the Fourth Amendment Advisory Committee hosted an expert panel to discuss how policymakers can protect consumer and business access to encryption while enacting policies that both encourage advances in cryptology and protect the rule of law.
