摘要

Apart from recent history, searching a criminal suspect's communications has generally been an unrealistic possibility. Before technological advancements, individuals conducted almost all communications in private, unsearchable contexts. Apart from written text, communications were undis- coverable. As society increasingly relies on technology to communicate, the government's ability to search and surveil has substantially expanded. Law enforcement has become accustomed to heightened search abilities in this era coined "the golden age of surveillance." People are increasingly communicating via mediums that travel through public channels. For convenience, a great percentage of the population carries devices that track many details of their life: conversations, finances, friends, calendars, and even location. As a result, law enforcement officials have grown accustomed to new investigation capabilities not possible just several decades prior; they may even feel entitled to these abilities. That people have sacrificed some privacy for convenience does not mean they have waived their constitutional rights. Just as technological advancements created the "golden age of surveillance," further advancements are now serving to restore privacy. Encryption reduces some capabilities recently enjoyed by law enforcement, and this development frustrates those tasked with investigating crime and securing the nation. Nonetheless, it is the right of the people to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures and to pursue the security of their informational privacy. Aside from the constitutional right to encrypt, efforts to prevent the use of encryption, while well-meaning, seem ill-considered. Financial crimes involving technological security breaches result in enormous economic loss; encryption is the best means to combat these crimes. Cyber threats pose one of the greatest dangers to our national security; encryption serves to defend against these threats. To hinder the use of encryption will likely cause more harm than it helps. Given the revelations made by Edward Snowden along with the unattainable standing requirements to challenge Fourth Amendment violations, many individuals perceive unlawful searches to be widespread, yet entirely un-redressable. Encryption, accordingly, may serve as the only means of securing fundamental constitutional rights involving informational privacy. This comment urges discontinuation of attempts to stifle the use of strong encryption. "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
