摘要：More than seventy five percent of Americans own smartphones to-day, and that percentage has more than doubled in the last seven years.1 Passcode- and fingerprint-based encryption are common measures to shield one’s device data from prying eyes, whether on a smartphone or on other popular devices such as tablets and laptops. An average user will likely face a short menu of choices during device setup, which offers to protect their phone with a passcode, or with a fingerprint, or not at all.2 Among the encryption options available, many users may make their choice based largely on convenience, little surmising their decisions’ potential implications on their legal rights.
