There needs to be an explicit mode for using 'secure' storage. If you dial in a code that is incorrect it just shows an empty partition. But if you don't put it in 'secure mode' (i.e. just press play) it will show the holiday snaps.
It needs to have a have a default timeout on authentication, like 15 minutes, and ideally a 'zeroise' button to flush the key, or optionally erase all.
I'm reminded of those fake SD cards that say '32GB' and report 32GB but only have 128MB chips. I'd like the opposite, something that says '16GB' but has a hidden memory segment.
- WereBooks 10y agoI liked that feature of truecrypt. Does anything else these days have a deniable encryption feature?
- marcosdumay 10y agoIs there place on the USB handshake to push a key?
- angry_octet 10y agoNothing official. And if it had any other USB modes it wouldn't look like a plain SD card anymore. But you could use a knock protocol to talk to it. Another solution would be to use an EyeFi card. A while back someone hacked a different firmware onto them; at least conceptually you could do that again and have them report no data. Some details: https://www.os3.nl/_media/2013-2014/courses/ot/connor_stavros.pdf https://www.os3.nl/_media/2013-2014/courses/ot/connor_stavro... Using an EyeFi to immediately transfer the data to a cell phone with encrypted storage is also a consumer level solution that would just work. But of course phones come under heavy scrutiny too and they might just beat you up until you tell them the pass code.
