Currently there is no way to do this and any forensics expert would find this hidden partition I believe. However, - You could have a second encrypted USB key. - Or you could set up an encrypted container somewhere on the persistent partition. There are many howtos on how to do that: - german https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/LUKS/Containerdatei/ - english https://elephly.net/posts/2013-10-01-dm-crypt.html But as I said, in my opinion, it's not really hidden, it would just not be decrypted by the main password.
