Disclosure of private cryptographic keys.

HB 86 prohibits requiring individuals to disclose their private cryptographic keys for accessing digital assets (like cryptocurrency) or digital identities in any legal proceeding in Wyoming. The law allows authorities to compel the production of the digital asset or related information without the private key, but only when a public key is unavailable to access the information. This directly affects people and businesses using digital assets secured by private keys, such as cryptocurrency holders or digital identity users. The bill, effective July 1, 2023, defines a "private key" as a unique cryptographic element held by a person and paired with a public key.
