First Report on Encryption

The first report on encryption created by the EU Innovation Hub for Internal Security presents an analysis on the topic of encryption from a legislative, technical and developmental viewpoint. It also touches upon certain specific judicial process and court rulings about overcoming encryption in cases where it represents an obstacle for criminal investigations, especially in relation to evidence admissibility. This report was produced by the following EU Innovation Hub for Internal Security members: Europol, Eurojust, European Commission’s Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME), European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC), European Council’s Counter-Terrorism Coordinator, European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (EU-LISA).
