=== ''United States v. John Doe'' === In 2012 the [[11th Circuit Court of Appeals|United States 11th Circuit Court of Appeals]] ruled that a ''[[John Doe]]'' TrueCrypt user could not be compelled to decrypt several of his hard drives.<ref>{{Citation | last =Palazzolo | first =Joe | title =Court: Fifth Amendment Protects Suspects from Having to Decrypt Hard Drives | publisher =The Wall Street Journal | date =23 February 2012 | url =https://blogs.wsj.com/law/2012/02/23/court-fifth-amendment-protects-suspects-from-decrypting-computers/ | access-date = 24 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Citation | last =Kravets | first =David | title =Forcing Defendant to Decrypt Hard Drive Is Unconstitutional, Appeals Court Rules | publisher =[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] | date =24 February 2012 | url =https://www.wired.com/2012/02/laptop-decryption-unconstitutional/ | access-date = 24 May 2014}}</ref> The court's ruling noted that FBI forensic examiners were unable to get past TrueCrypt's encryption (and therefore were unable to access the data) unless Doe either decrypted the drives or gave the FBI the password, and the court then ruled that Doe's Fifth Amendment right to remain silent legally prevented the Government from making them do so.<ref>{{cite court |litigants =United States v.
