Cyberspace Electronic Security Act
 |
The Cyberspace Electronic Security Act of 1999 (CESA) is a bill proposed by the
encryption keys and cryptography
methods. The initial version of this act enabled federal law enforcement agencies to secretly use monitoring, electronic capturing equipments and other technologies to access and obtain information. These provisions were later stricken from the act, although federal law enforcement agencies still have a significant degree of latitude to conduct investigations relating to electronic information. The act generated discussion about what capabilities should be allowed to law enforcement in the detection of criminal activity. After vocal objections from civil liberties groups, the administration backed away from the controversial bill.
