Description
Law Enforcement Challenges Context The New York Times article in the Required Resources section below describes that intercepting communications has remained a troublesome problem for law enforcement. While criminals used to talk over channels that were relatively simple to tap — like phones, emails and basic text messages — most now use encrypted messengers, which are not. Two of the world’s most popular messaging services, Apple’s iMessage and Facebook’s WhatsApp, use so-called end-to-end encryption, meaning only the sender and receiver can see the messages. Not even the companies have access to their contents, allowing Apple and Facebook to argue that they cannot turn them over to law enforcement. Assignment Requirements Answer the following prompt(s): Discuss and explain at least three different techniques that law enforcement agencies are utilizing to mitigate and overcome the challenges associated with intercepting communications that use end-to-end encryption. Fully address the prompt(s) in this case study and provide valid rationale for your choices by substantiating your thoughts with credible sources that are properly cited and referenced.
