Our new book “Encrypted evidence in the criminal trial” is now available on Amazon in Kindle format.
A monographic in-depth analysis of the most complex issue facing digital evidence and criminal proceedings.
Cryptography has become a structured and indispensable component of the digital dimension of society and individual relationships—no longer a tool reserved for a few, but a fundamental element for all.
In Italy, criminal investigations and trials, which are well-structured around testimonial evidence, fail when faced with encrypted evidence, unable to resolve the dilemma between the right to remain silent and the obligation to surrender encryption keys.
In the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium, laws and precedents reflect the critical conflict between the privilege against self-incrimination and the impenetrability of cryptographic systems. With numerous references to case law (Italian, supranational, and foreign), legal doctrine, and legislative texts, this work explores the complexities through both a phenomenological and comparative lens.
