My guess is that even though the court can compel the decryption of the content, you - being selected as the decrypter - can still get immunity against the prosecution using any content on the decrypted drive against you on the individual level. They can still prosecute you for any individual crimes you may or may not have done, they just can't use the decrypted drive as evidence during that particular prosecution.Daemonate said:Thanks for your replies.
Getting a little bit off-topic, what if being compelled to open company computers for company crimes would lead to you incriminating yourself individually criminally?
However, if multiple people had access to the content on the drive, the prosecution is likely to get to select who they want to decrypt it, and are therefore likely to select someone with from the company with little relation to the actual crimes for the decryption (using 'witnesses' rather than 'defendants', since this leaves them less likely of violating the defendants rights).
I emphasize strongly that everything in this post is my own personal guess, since there is no precedence on this area.
