Electronic Rights

An interesting article about a trial going on where the prosecution is arguing that the defendant is required to decrypt their hard drive:

This is another case of laws not keeping up with technology - a problem that's going to get more and more prevalent as time goes on. I personally think that encryption is out there, it's going to be everywhere, and the government trying to stop it, have backdoors, or force a defendant to have to decrypt something isn't really going to work.
