This seminar will provide an overview of the background relating to compelled decryption and then present some of the current and future technology trends that will need to be considered when this framework is updated. It will also address some of the challenges in identifying an approach that can both safeguard constitutional rights while also ensuring that terrorists, human traffickers, and other criminals are not provided with an impenetrable legal shield for incriminating documents.
