Comments on: Encryption in the UK now legally irrelevant http://ricardo.strangevistas.net/encryption-in-the-uk-now-legally-irrelevant.html "No. Not even in the face of Armaggedon. Never compromise."

I was thinking that the "decryption denial" offense had already been penalized, but of course every time you decline to decrypt would be a new crime. Unfortunately TrueCrypt still does not support OS X, but I can probably mount it on a Linux file server. Good point.

Time to switch to deniable encryption software such as <a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/" rel="nofollow">truecrypt</a>. Also I do not think the law gives criminals an "out". They will jail the individual for two years, when he comes out they will present him with the encrypted data and ask him to decrypt it once again. If he refuses, another offense, another two years.
