Judge orders defendant to decrypt PGP-protected laptop

[Perry E. Metzger]

Quoting:

   A federal judge has ordered a criminal defendant to decrypt his
   hard drive by typing in his PGP passphrase so prosecutors can view
   the unencrypted files, a ruling that raises serious concerns about
   self-incrimination in an electronic age.
