ObCrypto: When may a minor child say no to PAK (Parental Access to Keys)?

Interesting threat model... What can one do in the total absense of physical security? We've talked about mental cryptography before, but I think we agreed that it isn't very practical. Perhaps security through obscurity is a better solution here, since many parents are less computer literate than their children. Perhaps in the future kids will get non-removable tamperproof microchip implants behind their parents' backs. :) Wei Dai
