This section defines covered data to include financial, medical, and biometric data; intellectual property; and trade secrets of U.S. persons (as defined in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, 50 U.S.C. 1801). It directs the President, acting through the Secretary of Defense and Director of National Intelligence, to develop strategies (1) to identify covered data and classified information (as defined in 50 U.S.C. 3164) unlawfully held by foreign entities, including whether such data is encrypted or has been decrypted; and (2) to address stolen covered data and classified information. The section further authorizes the Secretary and Director, upon joint determination that destruction, manipulation, or recovery is in the U.S. economic and national security interest, to identify encrypted covered data and classified information not yet decrypted by the foreign entity; attempt to destroy, manipulate, or recover it; and, when practicable, inform lawful owners of the intent and outcome. Finally, it requires a joint report to Congress within one year of enactment on the strategies and actions taken, including legislative or administrative recommendations, to be submitted in unclassified form with a possible classified annex.
