a problem has been discovered with truecrypt in that it is possible to detect a 'hiiden volume' (i.e. the 'plausible deniability' is *not* reliable)
i posted here recommending truecrypt (http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005- October/027155.html) for 'plausibile deniability' so, to anyone who may have used or is thinking about using, truecrypt for plausible deniability, here is the description of the problems found (from a thread on sci.crypt) http://groups.google.com/group/sci.crypt/msg/a30ac58c279087f2?dmode= source and http://groups.google.com/group/sci.crypt/msg/e42d12074436220d?dmode= source n.b. there is no evidence of insecurity of the 'container' itself and no attack on recovery of any files form within the container the attack is only on the detectability of the 'hidden volume' (also, it may be 'fixable' in an newer version) vedaal Concerned about your privacy?
