very platonic, but totally oblivious to "rubber hose cryptanalysis" ...unless you have a group of fanatically loyal people at the core of your "freedom protectors" group and the "engineers" that implement your cryptography systems part of this group, force and bribery will always win.
...and if you have a group of people truly loyal to freedom, then you don't need much crypto anyway ...just spoken words, physical transfer written/printed papers or usb sticks (this is how bin laden supposedly communicated his speaches if I remember well, right?) or other media and a brotherly handshake...
- marshray 14y agoYou might be interested to learn that Assange had developed the Rubberhose file system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubberhose_%28file_system%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubberhose_%28file_system%29 So I don't think he's oblivious to the concept.
- nnq 14y agodo you how does it compare to similar features offered by TrueCrypt?
- rattus 14y agoTrueCrypt's plausible deniability system is dependent on a passphrase instead of an auth key iirc. Another likely difference is that truecrypt works. Neither will stand up to scrutiny for the purposes of deniability. It's obscurity which is effective in the scenarios that the docs outline below. http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=plausible-deniability http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=plausible-deniability
