Abstract
With 4.1 billion internet users across the globe, data can now be easily shared and consumed. This uptake in ICT can result in risks to the privacy of individuals. As a result laws and regulations have been introduced, and technology companies have implemented safeguards, such as the use of encryption to protect the privacy of citizens. Although encryption has been shown to be an effective control for protecting privacy of citizens, it also protects the information of criminals and terrorists. To address this, governments have introduced laws and regulations to allow access to encrypted communications and data, but by doing this have faced resistance and backlash. This paper discusses the use of encryption and the ethical challenges associated with it.
