The article is meant for non tech people, why should the journalist go into such details? You may also consider the server's private key a "classified document", by the way.

The article originally appeared in the German WSJ, so some of the more intricate parts of the story may have been lost in translation. The original article: http://www.wsj.de/nachrichten/SB1000142405270230409900458009...

Yep, in the german version it says "Anfang des Jahres verklagte die US-Regierung Lavabit auf Herausgabe ihrer SSL-Schlüssel und gewann den Prozess." So there they wrote about the correct technical details.

Thanks for the link (grand parent) and the posting of the original text.

You're correct; the original is rather accurate.

Chalk it up to sloppy translation :)
