- meowface 13y agoWell, this is one specific instance. He could very well have had a poor TrueCrypt password. Or the laptop was on and unencrypted at the time of its confiscation.

- dublinben 13y agoI don't think that's very newsworthy until they claim to have successfully decrypted one. Law enforcement has wasted plenty of time in the past trying to decrypt these, and failing.
- panarky 13y agoThere's no claim that TrueCrypt was compromised. Miranda reportedly had a password printed on a piece of paper. And a big chunk hasn't been decrypted. More here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6303876 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6303876

- salem 13y agoThe claim that he had the password on him is being denied. What they really should have done is hand transported a very large one-time pad, and after a one-time is successfully transported without interception, transport the data encoded with the one-time pad.
