隐私是人类的核心需求，但社会有时需要进行有针对性的、相称的调查，以提供安全保障。为了调和个人隐私和社会安全，我们探讨是否可以以一种对公民负责的形式进行监控。这意味着公民可以获得关于实际发生的监视的数量和性质的可核实的证据。在我们的方案中，政府对他们行使监督权的程度负责，政党可以在竞选活动中承诺他们打算减少（或增加）这一数字。我们提出了一个负责任的代管的总体思路，以协调和平衡个人隐私和社会安全的要求。我们设计了一个用于异步通信的平衡密码系统（例如，电子邮件）。提出了一种新的公钥密码系统中的解密能力托管方法。政府可以解密它，以便进行有针对性的监视，但这样做必然会将记录放在政府负责的公共日志中。
Privacy is a core human need, but society sometimes has the requirement to do targeted, proportionate investigations in order to provide security. To reconcile individual privacy and societal security, we explore whether we can have surveillance in a form that is verifiably accountable to citizens. This means that citizens get verifiable proofs of the quantity and nature of the surveillance that actually takes place. In our scheme, governments are held accountable for the extent to which they exercise their surveillance power, and political parties can pledge in election campaigns their intention about reducing (or increasing) this figure. We propose a general idea of accountable escrow to reconciling and balancing the requirements of individual privacy and societal security. We design a balanced crypto system for asynchronous communication (e.g., email). We propose a novel method for escrowing the decryption capability in public-key cryptography. A government can decrypt it in order to conduct targeted surveillance, but doing so necessarily puts records in a public log against which the government is held accountable.
