From what I heard French are obliged to surrender encryption keys at the request of authorities or go to jail for a few years for denying their request. The only thing that may be left is to pack your things and go.

- martius 11y agoYou don't have to surrender the key, but you are required to at least decrypt things for the authorities. However, I the twist seems to be in the word "susceptible": any encryption key is susceptible to be somehow used to commit a crime, while on the other hand a jury would probably "deny a request" of the authorities if they can't show enough evidences.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoSo what happens if you don't know, forgotten, or never had the encryption key?
