Recovery codes can be stored publicly, but deniably on the internet. It would be like finding a hay in a haystack. No need to call anyone, just download a picture of a cat and decrypt it.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoThis is a cool idea and I've been contemplating it myself - but if you don't control the picture, whay if someone chabges it or recompresses it, then its binary changes and you are screwed. You are better off with a famous historical text, like in 'invincible' they sued Frankenstein. But it has to be with a clear and indusputed original, not something that has mutiple translations. What if drumroll its a good uisecase for blockchain? Like use hash of block number 200 or smth.
- Comevius 4y agoNot exactly how it works, steganography can produce a plaintext, picture or whatever as a cover for the ciphertext, but the cover is not going to be identical to the original. Consequently steganalysis will be able to recover the ciphertext. But with deniable steganography you can use a fake key to decrypt the ciphertext, so the guy standing behind you with a $5 wrench can see that you have nothing to hide.
