There were a couple other cases like this (one in the UK IIRC): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/man-who-refused-to-decrypt-hard-drives-is-free-after-four-years-in-jail/

The dissenting opinion was interesting, I wonder if this got kicked upstairs or did the prosecutors have other fish to fry.

I really like Go for its simplicity, ecosystem, and ability to develop applications and libraries in rapid, understandable ways. In particular it is easy to integrate Go applications and libraries with anonymous networks thanks to libraries like goSam, sam3, and bine. Obviously in the browser JavaScript is the only way to fly. Brief love affairs with various JS transpires taught me I should just get better at JavaScript.

I'd like to access this over I2P. My ISP won't drop the firewall (or incoming connections are blocked, not clear ATM) tho 😩 . So the Java router and I2pd can reseed, but tunnel creation fails.

Interestingly Tor (both TBB & the software) connect. So Tor for now.

I thought Tribler used Tor technology under the hood but that p2p client doesn't connect either.

Key Disclosure Law

within the united states your passwords are protected by the 5th amendment.

fyi at the border it's more of a grey area and they are trying to coerce and compel you to including some possible notion of holding the device for a week or so to inspect it before returning it. You still do not legally need give them the password or entry into the device.

keep in mind, fingerprints and other biometrics are not passwords and for a long time were not protected in the same way. In 2019 it was ruled in Cali to get the same protection, but I'm not sure how far that runs Link

From what I gather, judges usually rule key disclosure when the government already knows the information in the device and it's not for getting new evidence but making the evidence available to the court. In any case I don't think the cops can just lawfully request your key, like they can't search your house without a warrant on normal occasions. My question is what happens if you forgot your password for real? Is there any possibility for them to deny that you forgot it except rubber-hose cryptanalysis?
