I agree that this is the best analog. I posed the same question in a similar discussion a couple of weeks ago. Can the government compel a defendant to decode a handwritten note or provide the key to the cipher? If so, this is the applicable precedent, much more than safes or doors. As a sibling comment states, there has to be case law on this. I'd be interested in the comments from any HN users in the know.
