The U.S. State Of Wyoming Has Passed A Bill That Protects Its Citizens From Having To Disclose Private Keys
It does not specify that it would be only for Bitcoin keys, so it would also apply the same to private keys utilized as decentralized identities, or any other use cases.
The bill states that, “No person shall be compelled to produce a private key or make a private key known to any other person in any civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or other proceeding in this state that relates to a digital asset, digital identity or other interest or right to which the private key provides access unless a public key is unavailable or unable to disclose the requisite information with respect to the digital asset, digital identity or other interest or right.”
- It is now up to the governor of Wyoming to put the final stamp of approval on the landmark bill.
