The prosecution would say that he frequently accessed the computer (which they could prove with forensic analysis) and argue it unlikely that he forgot his passphrase. The judge would accept that argument.
It's scary to me because I've forgotten my encryption passphrases more than once, and I'm highly-educated.
- mickronome 10y agoAfter 18 months I definitely would be unable to comply to unlock the drive if the password was even remotely complicated. Seems like the proper thing to do with a drive you forget the password to is to zero the drive. I know I have encrypted archives of very mundane data in incremental backups which I have no clue as to what the password is, and due to the technology involved it's almost impossible to remove the files without risking to compromise the ability to restore other files. Ooops.
