{wiki=Key_disclosure_law}
Key disclosure laws refer to legal regulations that require individuals or entities to provide access to encryption keys or other forms of decrypted data upon law enforcement requests. These laws can dictate the circumstances under which law enforcement agencies may demand that individuals or companies decrypt data or turn over encryption keys, typically in the context of criminal investigations. The specifics of key disclosure laws can vary widely by jurisdiction, but they generally aim to strike a balance between privacy rights and the needs of law enforcement.
