From http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/11/ripa_iii_figures/:
Two people have been successfully prosecuted for refusing to provide
authorities with their encryption keys, resulting in landmark
convictions that may have carried jail sentences of up to five years.
The government said today it does not know their fate.
The power to force people to unscramble their data was granted to
authorities in October 2007. Between

and 31 March this year the first two convictions were obtained.

The disclosure was made by Sir Christopher Rose, the government's
Chief Surveillance Commissioner, in his recent annual report.
[/TLDR]
The former High Court judge did not provide details of the crimes
being investigated in the case of either individual - neither of whom
were necessarily suspects - nor of the sentences they received.

The Crown Prosecution Service said it was unable to track down
information on the legal milestones without the defendants' names.
