Dizon, MichaelMcHugh, Philip2021-11-282021-11-2820211360-0834https://hdl.handle.net/10289/14640This article examines the laws that apply to encryption in New Zealand. Specifically, it analyses the different types of law that constitute an encryption legal framework in the country, namely: export control, substantive cybercrime, criminal procedure, human rights, and information security and data protection. The article then utilises the encryption laws and legal framework to evaluate a proposal by the Five Eyes intelligence alliance to regulate the use of end-to-end encryption in messaging services. The article concludes that the proposal is incompatible with the country's encryption legal framework.application/pdfenThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Information and Communications Technology Law on 06 October 2021, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13600834.2021.1988321.Journal Article10.1080/13600834.2021.19883211469-8404
