IANAL but I don't think they can compel you to give your truecrypt passwords as they're in your head. There was an ongoing court case (involving child pornography) about this topic.
- slantyyz 16y agoEven then, I think TrueCrypt lets you create a second volume within the initial volume, and leaves no trace that the second volume even exists.
- pyre 16y agoThe problem therein is programs that record your 'most recent documents.' If they refer to documents that aren't anywhere in what they confiscated, and/or on a volume that doesn't exist they may suspect that you have a hidden volume.
- pyre 16y agoIIRC, in that case the guy unlocked his encrypted drive for a border agent, the border agent saw child porn, then the computer was turned off (disabling access to the encrypted drive). The guy already showed the authorities that he had incriminating evidence on his encrypted drive. It's not exactly the poster-child case for being compelled to turn over your encryption keys/passwords.
