A big flaw of deniable encryption software is that it's only used by people who use the deniable part, so its use strongly suggests the existence of such hidden data. Whether or not that's sufficient to detain someone and demand that they produce the additional password will vary depending on various jurisdictions' laws, but I personally wouldn't tempt fate with it.
- baq 10y agoit's the same with a phone that underwent factory reset during the walk from the plane to the first customs officer... you're suspect either way. similar with not having a phone at all - pretty much everybody who can afford to fly halfway across the world should be able to afford a phone. don't have one? suspect.
- problems 10y agoNot really - plenty of people use TrueCrypt to encrypt their drive without using the hidden OS feature for example.
- blazespin 10y agoYes, we need this as a feature of iOS and Android. Type one password - decrypt a clean version of your phone. Type another password or use a different fingerprint - decrypt another version of your phone. They'd have to make it so you can't tell the difference between a phone with a deniable section versus one that does.
