Legal access is a special case -- what is the law (and practice) in any

-- a lawyer who strongly supports crypto, etc. -- has opined that under
US law, a subpoena for keys would probably be upheld by the courts. I
believe that British law explicitly mandates key disclosure. And of
course, there's always rubber hose cryptanalysis in jurisdictions where
that's acceptable.
That assumes the police or other agencies know who operated the server. In
practice, some TOR servers are rented by hosting sites to parties they
don't know or think they know but really don't.
