It uses IDEA in a decently secure manner, as well as TDES. You can also mount .au files as filesystems, and the data will be hidden in the sound file.
(Last place I remember Ian's loop.c and des patches for Linux was on ftp.csua.berkeley.edu, /pub/cypherpunks/<somewhere>)
ftp.csua.berkeley.edu:/pub/cypherpunks/filesystems/linux.
Anyone had any luck with ftp.csua.berkeley.edu? My ftp client says that "client not responding to commands, hanging up". What is wrong? igor
I haven't looked through the code very hard yet, but I do wonder how the passphrase and such is stored. If I run losetup and setup /root/stego_file.au as a filesystem on /dev/loop0, does that get stored anywhere that isn't secure from non-root processes, or that is kept after the filesystem is unmounted? I figure the passphrase definately is removed as soon as the filesystem is unmounted, and that this is stored in protected kernel memory.
