Out of curiosity what can they do if someone says they don't know the password for an encrypted file, or even better yet claims he forgot it years ago. It seems like it would be nearly impossible to prove he remembers the password short of showing him having just opened it? Also, would you happen to be able to name a state that would not allow forcing disclosure of encryption content and/or one state that does (save me hassle in figuring out what states to set a story in lol). Either way this is a great answer! | |
