Comment Forced Decryption (Score 1) 417

I predict that in the future, it won't be possible to force decryption in many cases in which the suspected person is a REAL criminal. There is a simple reason for this: he/she won't know the password. There are many ways how you can create an encrypted file that you can open and edit without knowing the password. One way would be to make two passwords. One which you know and one which you don't know (you only know how to use it). Both would be needed for decryption. If you are a bit creative you gonna find many ways how you do such things. The only thing you have to be sure is that you can destroy the unknown password at every time. Of course it is maybe illegal to destroy the password and the justice could put you in the jail or do other funny things. By the way: in the example of above there are mind games possible. You could create a copy of the unknown key and hide it. The result is an encrypted file that you can open/edit and shut down temporary. Of course only as long as the key is not found.
