1. A system comprising:

  • sensing circuitry configured for producing sensor data;

    circuitry for associating the sensor data with at least an encrypted identifier for the sensing circuitry and at least one of a specific time or a specific place;

    circuitry for encrypting at least the sensor data with a level-one encryption key generating level-one encrypted sensor data, wherein a level-one decryption key corresponding to the level-one encryption key is unavailable to the circuitry for encrypting at least the sensor data with a level-one encryption key;

    circuitry for encrypting at least the level-one encrypted sensor data with a level-two encryption key generating doubly encrypted sensor data, wherein a level-two decryption key corresponding to the level-two encryption key is unavailable to the circuitry for encrypting at least the level-one encrypted sensor data with a level-two encryption key;

    a double-encrypted lockbox repository that includes at least one or more memories configured for storing the doubly encrypted sensor data, wherein the double-encrypted lockbox repository is configured to store the doubly encrypted sensor data in association with at least a level-two key-pair designator for pairing the level-two encryption key with the level-two decryption key, the encrypted identifier for the sensing circuitry, and the at least one of the specific time or the specific place, wherein a decryption key for the stored encrypted identifier is unavailable to the double-encrypted lockbox repository; and

    circuitry for retrieving at least the doubly encrypted sensor data from the double-encrypted lockbox repository in response to receipt of a request having at least an encrypted identifier for the sensing circuitry, wherein a decryption key for the received encrypted identifier is unavailable to the double-encrypted lockbox repository; and

    wherein the system is configured to deny access via at least one of practicable control, administration, or access control circuitry by the double-encrypted lockbox repository to both (1) said circuitry for encrypting at least the sensor data with a level-one encryption key and (2) said circuitry for encrypting at least the level-one encrypted sensor data with a level-two encryption key.
