I think that's only in the Eleventh Circuit (seems to be southeast US, not including the jurisdiction of this case): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#United_Stat... The other cases listed involved the government already knowing things, so that the 5th didn't apply. If they got a guilty plea, they've probably got enough evidence that a similar situation could apply here. I don't think the Fifth allows you to withhold incriminating evidence you have on other people (as the government wants here.)
Hmm, maybe I'm just speculating, but this makes it look even more like a beachhead for being able to do this in the future. Little risk of losing the conviction, no apparent attempt to have the suspect do it himself (but maybe my research is just poor). They've used this tactic before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Writs_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Writs_Act .
