Creating A Subpoena-Proof Diary: A Technological Solution to A Legal
Problem

Abstract
Many high ranking government officials are afraid to keep a diary
because of the possibility that it will be subpoenaed. This will
undoubtedly be a great loss to future historians. This paper
describes a method by which a subpoena-proof diary can be kept. The
diary can be encrypted in a way such that no one, not even the
author, can read it until some period of time has elapsed. In this
way, the diary can be read by future historians but not by
contemporary political enemies.
JIM LEHRER: 'Are you keeping a diary? Are you keeping good notes on
what's happening?'
HILLARY CLINTON: 'Heavens no! It would get subpoenaed. I can't write
anything down [Laughing]'[1].
Keywords: Encryption, Privacy, Unraveling, Subpoena and Diary
