The cracker who's using Secure Drive could be an interesting case. Unfortunately, assuming that a cracker at a university is probably a student, he may not hve very good legal representation, and I'd hate to see bad precedent on "can you be forced to reveal your key" set because someone is not only a tresspasser but a stupid one as well. Do you know if the wiretapping was being done by police, or if it was just the university staff with ethernet sniffers? I was interested by your comment that they can't prosecute the person without the data; while it could certainly be helpful to have, one would hope they had a reasonably solid case *before* they went and arrested him.....
