So, there's no way they can get inside my brain and poke around for incriminating information. If a judge "asks me to release that information", it's the same thing, right?
This isn't a problem of accessibility.
A safe contains things that can be mentioned on a warrant that gives officers the right to seize it and open it, or ask me to do so. A hard-drive contains information. You can seize the hard-drive and if you can read it, that information is yours. If you can't, is it so clear that the defendant is obliged to give you access?
If he opened a safe and you found encrypted pages, should the defendant have to give up the code? (These things might/must have already happened before, so maybe there's some form of precedent)
