3. Will strong encryption be shown to have
hindered law enforcement during terrorist
attack/criminal event ?
6. Encryption Ban?
• Government officials around the world are
proposing bills to have encryption weakened
with the only intention to protect citizens
from criminals and terrorists. Will this draft
bill become the first step in a much larger
attack on encryption and on personal
freedoms as well?
7. INTERNATIONAL CLOUD STORAGE
IMPLICATIONS
• Microsoft Ireland Case: Can a US Warrant
Compel A US Provider to Disclose Data Stored
Abroad?
• The Federal Appeal Court ruled- American
companies don't have to hand over customer
data to U.S. police if it's stored on computers in
another country
8. Impact of Limiting Encryption
• Consumer Privacy compromised
• Business Issues
Would any regulatory burden on limiting
encryption would influence companies to shift
their businesses overseas with more encryption-
friendly policies?
