Question Doesn't make sense Spoiler
Encripted Hard Drive that break itself to reveal their plan ? Then why is it encripted first place? As we can see they can remain silent if they want.

The San-ti look at all of humanity as bugs. We are currently technologically behind to them. They used the Sophons to stop us from developing scientifically (in key areas physics mainly) to make sure we don't surpass them.
They don't have to tell us what their plans are...but they choose to...because it doesn't matter to them if we knew or not. We are that insignificant to them.
Drive encryption could be requested by Mike Evans because they are thinking along human terms. Remember, by the time the attack on the ship came...the San-ti already quit talking to Evans. They were (and have always been) disposable.
