For context, French law doesn’t have a “5th”: you were already required to expose decryption keys of encrypted data if requested (e.g: give a password for a locked zip file) The law: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/loda/article_lc/LEGIARTI000032654251/ https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/loda/article_lc/LEGIARTI00003... This specific ruling is about wether the lock screen of the phone was subjected to this law as well. Basically, is the lockscreen password a decryption key ? The Cassation court judgement comes from the disk encryption mechanism being now attached to the phone locking mechanism: full disc encryption is only unlocked when the phone unlocks, so the passcode screen can be seen as a mean to unlock the disk.
