5th Amendment rights?

This very issue has recently arisen. A man is charged with possession of child , and the images are allegedly encrypted on his laptop. A grand jury attempted to order him to reveal the pword which would decrypt the files. The man refused under his 5th amendment rights, and a federal judge agreed that the grand jury's order was unconstitutional. This is all very recent.
