ABSTRACT

This article examines the disconnect between people’s social conceptions of privacy and information security in relation to encryption vis-à-vis the legal protections offered by law. It describes the social conceptions and expectations of participants based in New Zealand and contrasts these with the applicable laws and legal protections concerning privacy, information security and encryption. In light of incongruence between the social and the legal, the article recommends law and policy developments to better align and connect people’s social conceptions of privacy and information security with the legal protections provided by law. This includes having greater awareness of the relevance of civil and criminal procedure rights to privacy and information security in the context of encryption and providing stronger legal protections to the right against unreasonable search and seizure and the privilege against self-incrimination.

摘要

本文探讨了人们对隐私和信息安全的社会概念与加密相关的社会概念与法律提供的法律保护之间的脱节。它描述了新西兰参与者的社会观念和期望，并将其与有关隐私、信息安全和加密的适用法律和法律保护进行了对比。鉴于社会与法律之间的不一致，本文建议制定法律和政策，以更好地将人们对隐私和信息安全的社会观念与法律提供的法律保护联系起来。
