Once you put information into anything except your own head, it's fair game for a subpoena or search warrant. Period. Encryption doesn't matter. You can be compelled to provide keys or passwords, because the keys and passwords themselves aren't evidence against you. They just unlock the evidence that already exists.
Compelled to hand over a PHYSICAL key, I can see that. But a key that exists only in your head? Nope. The 5th Amendment would have to be itself amended to add that.
And I don't see 2/3rds of the States ratifying THAT without some capitol buildings burning to the ground.
