I thought the law was that you can be compelled to decrypt a document in your possession, provided that the fact that you are capable of doing so has been established (i.e. only when admitting that you are capable of decrypting something is sufficient to establish guilt do you have 5th amendment protection). Just as you can be compelled (under warrant) to open a safe for a search.
