Re: [cryptography] Introducing DM-Steg: Deniable encryption for Linux

Hello folks,
I'd like to introduce DM-Steg. It's a Linux device mapper module that provides deniable/steganographic encryption. DM-Steg provides similar capabilities to Rubberhose (a now defunct project by Julian Assange et al.) and more advanced deniable encryption than Truecrypt.
It's been a very long time since I've heard Rubberhose kicked around these parts, but wasn't it specifically designed to provide deniability through the production of a "false key" which provided an alternative decryption that appeared to be "all the data" via the false key (while leaving the actual secret data unencrypted)? //Alif -- I hate Missouri.

Bingo. DM-Steg operates under the same principle, however the workings are different. - Leo
