Shining a Light on the Encryption Debate: A Canadian Field Guide
"Access to strong encryption technology is integral to the defense of
human rights in the twenty-first century. This technology is also
essential for securing digital transactions, ensuring public safety, and
protecting national security interests. Yet many state agencies have
continued to argue that encryption poses an unacceptable barrier to
their investigative and intelligence-gathering activities. In response,
some governments have called for limits on the public availability and
use of secure, uncompromised encryption technology.
Shining a Light on the Encryption Debate: A Canadian Field Guide
— co-authored by the Citizen Lab and the Canadian Internet Policy and
Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) — examines the parameters of this
debate, paying particular attention to the Canadian context. It provides
critical insight and analysis for policymakers, legal professionals,
academics, journalists, and advocates who are trying to navigate the
complex implications of these technologies."
