This is all interesting, but I've got one dumb question: why do you need to decrypt it?
In the UK we have a law which give you the right to remain silent; so as not to incriminate yourself. I think in the US its known as "taking the fifth".
English law states silence, in response to an arrest caution, can be used against the arrested person at their criminal trial. The English system permits prosecutors to mislead and confuse the jury and to blatantly lie about the defendant. In those circumstances has an alleged "Right not to self-incriminate" any practical usefulness ?
Follow-ups, if any, off the list, please.
