Now the onslaught from the security services and law enforcement of the
USG is going to get really involved and interesting. This is a research
paper which looks at the Cloud, and what evidence, and how evidence
which can be admitted in court can be extracted via forensic software.
And it aint secret...it is going to be legit law enforcement. If end to
end encryption is going to be the norm in the internet of things, then
access by the state to information stored there, via warrants is going
to become essential. How this is going to affect the various amendments
to the US Constitution, which protect the privacy of property and the
person is also up for grabs.
Watch out for more use of the All Writs Act where there is no specific
legislation which allows for warrants of search and seizure...Also, as
more companies store their stuff in the cloud, then other private
companies may need access for lawsuits, in cases of breach of trust,
contract and copyright, amongst other things. And, remember too, that
there are not only considerations by the USG and US companies, but
ramifications which affect many other nation states in the world. It is
all getting very complicated.
