Compelled Decryption - State of the Art in Doctrinal Perversions

Presented at DEF CON 24 (2016), Aug. 5, 2016, 11 a.m. (60 minutes)

Get mirandized for an encrypted world. This talk will cover the legal doctrines and statues our government is perverting to compel individuals into decrypting their data, or conscript technology companies into subverting the security of their own products. We’ll survey the arguments being advanced by prosecutors, the resulting case law, and the ethical dilemmas facing technology companies. The session will cover the rights and civil liberties we’ve already lost, and review the current threats to our collective freedoms. We’ll cover what an individual needs to know if they want to avoid compelled decryption, and keep their data private. We’ll also discuss strategies that third parties (friends, f/oss developers, and technology companies) can use to resist conscription and build trust through transparency. Because knowing your rights, is only half the battle
