Court upholds Fifth Amendment, prevents forced decryption of data

When our ancestors and forefathers were improving the metabolic rate for that fifth time, they most likely did not have TrueCrypt-locked hard disk drives in your mind. However, a ruling in the eleventh Circuit Appeals Court has upheld the best of the anonymous testifier not to intentionally decrypt their data. The situation pertains to a Jon Doe giving evidence in return for immunity. The security given for them under this situation wouldn't extend holiday to a incriminating data that could be found, and therefore Doe felt this can lead to breach from the fifth amendment. The validity from the prosecution's demands for that data decryption is based on what they already know that, and just how they understood it -- to avoid functioning on hopeful hunches. The prosecutors were not able to show any understanding from the data under consideration, leading the eleventh Circuit to deem the request illegal, adding the immunity must have extended beyond only the current situation. This is not the very first time we have seen this area of the metabolic rate underneath the digital spotlight, and we are betting it will not function as the last, either.
