law enforcement’s request and issue a warrant. (6) Once the government satisfies the burden of showing probable cause to a neutral magistrate, the government is entitled to search and seize evidence of a crime in an individual’s private space. (7) That careful balancing of interests established by the Framers has continued to be calibrated throughout the history of the United States as different challenges have arisen, including, most notably, technological advances in daily life. For example, Congress has imposed additional statutory requirements that the government must meet and that a judge must find satisfied before a court can authorize interception of communications. But the individual’s right to privacy has never been absolute. (8) If not addressed, criminal anonymity actuated by end-to-end encryption technology will continue to pose a serious risk to the public. (9) Nevertheless, advances in technology continue without due consideration of issues of lawful access. (10) Moreover, very little, if any, resources from the private sector or from educational and research institutions are devoted to finding technological solutions to providing lawful access within different encrypted technological platforms. (11) More resources should be devoted to incentivizing the best minds in the United States to research the issues described in this section and decide how to best provide the most secure products and services to customers while also providing law enforcement access to information the government needs to investigate criminals seeking to do the public harm and to protect national security. 602.
