Data security devices may consist of hardware, software, or other programming code. A password (a string of alphanumeric characters) usually operates as a sort of digital key to "unlock" particular data security devices. Data security hardware may include devices, ships. dongles, biometric readers, retina scanners. facial recognition systems, voice. authentication Systems. hand writing authentication Systems and circuit boards. Data security software or digital code may include programming code that creates ?test? keys or ?hot? keys, which perform certain ore-set security functions when touched. Data security software or code may also compress. hide, or ?booby?trap" protected data to make it inaccessible or unusable. as well as reverse the process to restore it. Authorlty to Duplicate Electronic Media It is further requested that a forensic technician, sworn or non-sworn. be granted authorization to examine; make duplicate images/copies of the above-mentioned electronic media and to determine if evidence of the offenses enumerated above are contained therein.

The clones (master copies) will then be searched and this process will take time and special equipment. Furthermore, a on?site search may pose a severe hardship on all people who [live] [work] on the premises. It would also require the presence of law enforcement of?cers to secure the premises while the search is being conducted, thus depleting law enforcement resources in the community. It is therefore requested that authorization be given to remove all electronic storage devices and storage media that are found on the premises to an off-site location, with the necessary resources and equipment to conduct the search safely and ef?ciently. it is further requested that authorization be given to search for and seize all peripheral devices that appear to be reasonably necessary to access data stored in the electronic storage devices and storage media.
