Hum, it the attacker knows that he wants the key for a specific secret, like a Bitcoin wallet, can he just torture you until he gets it?

- istjohn 5y agoWell, yeah. There's no system that will defeat rubber hose exploits.
- p_j_w 5y agoSure, but there's a significant subset of attackers for whom this isn't an option. For example, I live in the USA. Torturing me because the government thinks there's a 7th key I'm not being up front about isn't an option for them, at least on paper.
- j_walter 5y agoHave a different and much smaller bitcoin wallet that serves as a decoy...and have the keys in the 1st layer of encryption.
