> If you have jurisdiction over someone, you can force them to decrypt something based on a warrant
A lot of people in IT seem to be blind to this. Encryption is no different from a very good hiding spot. If the authorities know it exists and you know how to access the information within it, there are ways to get you to disclose that information. It's not like they will just let you walk away if you simply say "no".
And that's just for the normal "criminals" argument. For "terrorists" there are even more ways to get them to disclose information. Rubber-hose cryptanalysis is a thing.
