As a carrier the former is all you can do and all that they can mandate.
As an IT service person they would presumably need to get a 
warrant/court order/consult your lawyer to compel you to give over the 
private keys (which isn't to say you wouldn't get some vaguely worded 
threatening letter demanding them) .
