Excerpt:
Imagine the government seizes a suspect's hard drive and finds
encrypted files inside. Can the government force the suspect to
enter in his encryption passphrase so the government can view the
decrypted files? Or does the Fifth Amendment privilege give the
suspect a legal right not to enter in the passphrase? On November
29, Magistrate Judge Jerome Niedermeier in Vermont handed down
the first opinion to squarely address the issue: In re Boucher.
